If you woke up Thursday morning wondering, “where is the rain?,” well it’s still headed to San Antonio. According to the National Weather Service, heavy rain is forecasted to hit the area between 7 a.m. and 2 p.m. Thursday morning. Forecasters say the activity has slowed down as it makes its way East towards San Antonio. That means the afternoon could likely see the most rainfall.
As of 6 a.m. Thursday, NWS says the storms were focused around the Edwards Plateau and the western Hill Country.
“Storms capable of producing flooding and flash flooding continue a gradual eastward shift with time across the southern Edwards Plateau and Hill Country. Isolated storms have also started to develop over portions of the I-35 Corridor and Coastal Plains,” NWS said.
A flood watch remains in effect for the San Antonio area until 7 p.m. Friday, October 2.
“Chances for heavy rain and flash flooding are highest Today into Friday. Widespread rainfall amounts of 1 to 4 inches with isolated higher amounts up to 8 inches are possible. Monitor trusted sources for forecast updates, and do not try to cross flooded roadways; turn around don’t drown,” NWS said.
San Antonio school districts are operating as normal on October 1. However, many districts said they will monitor conditions throughout the day on Thursday. Alamo College District is the only one with a delayed start until 10 a.m.
“Due to weather, Alamo Colleges District hours October 1, will be 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Classes and events scheduled outside these hours are canceled,” their website states.
