San Antonio temperatures peaked at 82 degrees Friday, the first time in about a month that afternoon temps crossed the 80-degree mark. Could we see the same warmth on Sunday? Maybe not, but it should be close enough, according to the National Weather Service forecast. Here’s what we know so far for Super Bowl Sunday in the Alamo City.
Sunday is shaping up to be partly sunny, with light south winds in the afternoon. Temperatures in San Antonio are likely to get no higher than the upper 70s, thanks to the increased cloudiness. At night, as skies become fully overcast, the cloud cover can act as a blanket and should help keep overnight temps above 55 degrees.
For context, keep in mind that San Antonio’s “normal” daily temperatures for Feb. 8 are supposed to range from a morning low of 44 degrees to an afternoon high of 66 degrees, according to weather service climate data. The warmth is unusual, yes, but we won’t come anywhere near Sunday’s daily record high of 89 degrees, which was set last year.
Still, with weather this nice in San Antonio on Sunday, you could even have a backyard tailgate at home before the Super Bowl kickoff at 5:30 p.m. Looking ahead at the work week, temperatures are expected to stay well above average through next weekend. Although we’ll have low to medium rain chances Monday night into Tuesday, not much rainfall is expected.

But we’ll start seeing rain chances bubbling up at night, including a 20% chance for rainfall after midnight, weather service forecasters said. Under mostly cloudy skies, overnight temps will stay balmy above 60 degrees, as moisture-rich air is carried into the region from the Gulf Coast by south-southeast winds of 5 mph…
