Final Four Weather; Destination: San Antonio
Of course San Antonio is this year’s destination for the NCAA Basketball Tournament Final Four. Now that the Final Four is down to the Final Two (Congrats. Memphis and Kansas), I thought we’d take a look at what weather conditions are normally like this time of year for SanAn, and what the forecast looks like as we head into Monday’s championship game.
Average weather conditions this time of year feature high temperatures around 80 with average overnight lows still down into the upper 50s. Afternoon thunderstorms can already develop, due to their (San Antonio) relative closeness to the Gulf and warming surface temperatures. It’s also interesting later in the year to watch the sea breeze that will periodically impact the region.
As we head into Monday night’s championship game, the NWS is forecasting cloudy morning skies to turn increasingly sunny. Temperatures will be warmer than average, topping out in the middle 80s. Overnight lows Monday night will only dip into the middle 60s with a touch of drizzle and low clouds redeveloping.
As a side note, even though I had UNC going all the way in this tournament, my team has been Memphis (as far as who I’ve wanted to see win) all along. Quite frankly, I believe they’re playing the best ball at this time (and through the entirety of the tournament for that matter), as that loss to UT earlier in the season kind of woke em’ up and lighted a hunger heading into the tourney. So, I’ll be pulling for the blue and white tigers Monday night…here’s to a great game!
