Texas – Thick clouds are building over San Antonio, and the air feels heavy as scattered storms begin to pulse across the region, setting up a wet and unsettled stretch into early next week.
According to the National Weather Service, showers and thunderstorms will increase through the day, with peak activity expected after early afternoon. Rain chances climb to 50%, with wind gusts reaching up to 30 to 35 mph in stronger storms and brief downpours reducing visibility on area roads.
Across San Antonio, drivers along I-35, Loop 410, and Highway 281 should prepare for slick pavement and sudden slowdowns. Localized ponding is possible in low-lying spots, especially where heavier cells develop. Keep headlights on and avoid rapid lane changes during rain bursts.
Conditions remain active into the evening, with showers likely continuing and rainfall totals adding up in waves. Meteorologists now tracking multiple rounds of storms say lightning could intensify quickly, especially in isolated stronger cells.
Sunday brings a brief break, but clouds linger with only a slight rain chance. Temperatures ease back into the upper 60s, signaling a shift toward cooler, more stable air behind the system.
By Monday, storm chances ramp up again, with a 60% likelihood of showers and thunderstorms. Another round of wet weather could impact commutes and outdoor plans into Tuesday, when rain chances remain near 50%.
A gradual warm-up returns midweek, with highs pushing into the low 80s and fewer storm interruptions by Wednesday and Thursday.
