Key takeaway FORECASTTODAYSunday will be noticeably quieter than Saturday, with only a 20% chance of an isolated afternoon shower or thunderstorm.
Why this matters in The San Antonio
The return of daily rain chances through midweek will be a welcome relief for San Antonio 's parched landscapes, but it also poses a threat to the city's flood-prone areas. As Gulf moisture increases across South-Central Texas, residents in low-lying neighborhoods should be prepared for potential minor flooding, especially if the heavy downpours materialize as forecasted. The city's drainage infrastructure will be put to the test, and it's crucial that residents report any clogged storm drains or flooding issues to the authorities promptly. With temperatures expected to remain below seasonal averages, the rain may also lead to an increase in mosquito-borne illnesses, making it essential for residents to take precautions to eliminate standing water around their homes. As the weather pattern becomes more active, San Antonio's emergency management teams will be closely monitoring the situation, and residents should stay informed through trusted local weather sources.
