SAN ANTONIO – Latest trends continue to signal a much-needed chance for rain across the San Antonio area with the added risk of thunderstorms.
The system we’ve been monitoring over the past few days is now moving into the Southwest. Our forecast for this upper-level low remains steady: it’s tracking across Texas and is strong enough to trigger showers and storms.

There’s also a chance for brief strong gusts, particularly if storms organize into a line or cluster. This setup favors wind impacts more than large hail.
Flooding Outlook: We’re currently at level 1 of 4, but the Hill Country sits at level 2 of 4, indicating a higher chance for localized flooding…
