FORECAST

TODAY

A few spotty downpours around San Antonio this afternoon, as an area of low pressure is sweeping across South Texas and into the Gulf today. This low could even briefly take on tropical characteristics, and perhaps become a tropical storm as it hugs the coast. However, the result is the same: scattered rain and the risk of flash flooding along the Gulf Coast.

Even if the disturbance along the Gulf Coast gets a title and name, it doesn't change the minimal impacts of the system. (Copyright 2024 by KSAT - All rights reserved.)

HEAT KICKS UP

In the wake of this low, stable air will fill in over the area. This will limit clouds and allow temperatures to soar. By Thursday, highs could reach the mid to upper-90s. Meantime, at the surface, we’ll still have humid conditions. That means heat index values could be near 110° on Thursday afternoon!

MORE RAIN CHANCES

By Friday, another front will make a run for South Texas. This could kick up more showers & storms for the area. Rain chances will continue on Saturday and some heavy rainfall will be possible. Rain chances fall again by Sunday.
