San Antonio, New Braunfels, and Gonzales may see scattered storms late tonight, with rain chances peaking at 40–45% in the early hours of Wednesday. Gusty winds could down branches or power lines, and hail may accompany stronger cells. Residents should secure outdoor items and stay weather-aware overnight.
By Thursday, skies clear and temperatures soar. Austin, San Marcos, and Eagle Pass are expected to hit upper 90s by Friday, with Del Rio forecast to reach 104°F by Saturday.
Additional warnings could be issued as storms develop. Stay tuned for NWS updates and avoid travel during active weather.
