SAN ANTONIO — A Flash Flood Warning has been issued for parts of Bexar County through 6 p.m. as scattered showers and thunderstorms move across South Texas.
Heavy rain has already prompted a Flood Advisory for eastern Bexar County, where some areas picked up 1 to 2 inches of rain in a short amount of time. Forecasters say additional rounds of showers and storms are expected throughout the afternoon as a weak weather disturbance moves into the region.
The biggest concern is localized flooding, with some storms capable of producing 1 to 3 inches of rain in a short period. While widespread severe weather is not expected, a few stronger storms could bring wind gusts exceeding 40 mph.
Rain chances will decrease this evening as temperatures cool, though isolated showers and thunderstorms remain possible Sunday. Some areas could also see sunshine and hot temperatures.
Looking ahead, rain chances continue into next week. The National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center has placed parts of western South Texas under a Level 2 of 4 risk for excessive rainfall Tuesday and Wednesday, with some locations potentially receiving more than 4 inches of rain.
Saharan dust is also expected to arrive next week. If rain falls while the dust is overhead, it could leave behind muddy residue on vehicles and other outdoor surfaces once it dries.
