Friday

  • Rainy ... meaningful rain ... helpful rain is expected to push across South Central Texas
  • Widespread rain varying in intensity throughout the day, with the highest coverage expected in the afternoon and evening hours
  • Up to 1″-2″ possible in some locations by Friday night
  • Windy: NE 10-20 mph with gusts up to 25 mph
  • Cooler with temperatures cooling into the mid 50s by the afternoon

We’ll need to watch for ponding on the sides of roadways along with a few minor flooding issues in poor drainage/low-lying areas and common trouble spots before the day is done.

Rain chances increase throughout the day Friday

Saturday

  • A few lingering spotty showers possible first thing in the morning (mainly east of SA) before we clear things out completely

Sunday

  • A pleasant day expected with chilly morning lows in the 40s followed by afternoon highs in the 70s
