Thankfully, rain is not expected to last all weekend, as we will still have\u00a0several dry periods. However, the dry weather will likely be interrupted by bursts of potentially heavy rainfall, some of which could produce isolated flooding.

Most of us, though, will pick up less than a half-inch of rain throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"uiTextSmall f aic jcc\">Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, atmospheric instability will be relatively low, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expressnews.com\/san-antonio-weather\/article\/hail-size-texas-meteorology-softball-20256854.php\" data-link=\"native\" class=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">which will keep storms from becoming too intense<\/a>.

There, large hail and even a few isolated tornadoes will be possible. A few of these stronger storms will move eastward overnight, possibly affecting parts of the northern and western Hill Country.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By Sunday, the risk of strong to severe storms will shift east and could affect the Interstate 35 corridor from Austin to San Antonio. With higher atmospheric instability in place, a few storms could produce hail by the afternoon and evening.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov\/qpf\/excessive_rainfall_outlook_ero.php\" data-link=\"native\" class=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">National Weather Service also has included San Antonio<\/a>, the Hill Country and the I-35 corridor under a level 1 of 4 risk, or at least a 5% chance, of excessive rainfall on Sunday.
