What is happeningWritten from the numbers on this page

Dry for the moment, with rain moving in this morning

It is 72° with a dew point of 69°, which is sticky for this time of year. The sky is overcast.

Pressure is easing down, 0.03 inHg over the last hour. The wind backs into the east around 8 AM, which is the turn that usually comes ahead of the change rather than after it. The first rain arrives between 8 AM and 9 AM, with the best chance of it around 11 AM. That leaves a usable window outdoors until about 8 AM, and it closes quickly after that.

Forecasts come from the National Weather Service's own computer models, and current conditions from the nearest reporting weather station. Both are served through the weather API. A forecast is guidance, not a warning, and anything the Weather Service has actually issued is on the live map.

The written summaries on this page are generated from the forecast data above, not by a meteorologist. Each sentence is a reading of the same numbers you can see, and no forecaster has reviewed them.

Place data from the US Census Bureau. Coordinates are the Census internal point for Windcrest, and the forecast is for that location, not for every address inside the city limits, and a large city can have real weather differences from one side to the other.

How well can the network see Windcrest?

The nearest Doppler radar is KEWX (Austin/San Antonio, TX), 25 miles to the ENE. A WSR-88D's lowest routine scan sits half a degree above horizontal, and the earth curves away beneath it, so by the time that beam reaches Windcrest its center is about 1,500 ft above ground. That is about as close as radar coverage gets in the United States: the lowest scan is still near the ground when it reaches Windcrest, so low-level rotation and the leading edge of a gust front show up on it. Windcrest is closer to its radar than 78% of US cities.

The closest instrument actually measuring the air is KSAT · San Antonio Intl on the ASOS/AWOS network, 6.5 miles away. Near enough to be representative on most days, though a summer thunderstorm can soak one and miss the other entirely.

Beam height is the standard 4/3-earth approximation for the 0.5° scan and assumes normal refraction; it is where the center of the beam is, not its edges, and unusual temperature profiles bend it. Radar siting from the NWS WSR-88D network, station positions from the Texas observing network as of this build.
