San Antonio’s flood watch continues.

Following overnight showers from scattered storms that brought one to two inches of rainfall in the area, the National Weather Service has extended their flood watch warning here and for portions of the Hill Country, I-35 corridor, and coastal plains until 9 p.m. on Saturday, October 25.

This morning’s ongoing showers and storms around San Antonio are expected to weaken and move east in a few hours, according to the weather agency.

Later this afternoon though, through the evening hours, a re-development of rainfall is expected to hit portions of the northeast Hill Country, I-35 corridor (which is mainly north of San Antonio), and portions of the Coastal Plains.The scattered thunderstorms could result in additional severe weather, with a level 2 of 5 risk. Threats include damaging winds, large hail, and an isolated tornado.

The NWS warns residents that there is a risk for severe storms and pockets of heavy rainfall this afternoon and early evening. So, be mindful when leaving your homes. Continue to monitor the forecast for updates and stay weather aware. Have multiple ways to receive weather warnings.

“Additional pockets of 1 to 2 inches with isolated higher amounts will be possible, which could lead to isolated flash flooding,” the weather agency warns. “Stay Weather aware! Turn around, don’t drown!”

San Antonio neighbor cancels homecoming parade

Due to today’s severe weather, one of San Antonio’s closest neighbors had to cancel one of their homecoming celebrations. According to a post on their Facebook page, students at Lytle High School will have to participate in their annual homecoming parade on a later date.

“Due to the more than two inches of rain we’ve already received – and with conditions not expected to clear out until parade setup time – we must cancel today’s Lytle Pirate Homecoming Parade,” the post reads.

“We know how much our community looks forward to celebrating our students and showing Pirate pride, but everyone’s safety must come first. We appreciate your understanding and continued support for our Lytle Pirates!”

However, all indoor activities scheduled for later in the day are still on the board, the school says.
