On Wednesday, a trough of low atmospheric pressure, which had been hovering across the western United States over the past few days, is expected to finally slide eastward. As this weather system interacts with a moisture-rich atmosphere over Texas<\/a>, it could produce a few storms across the Texas Hill Country and parts of the Interstate 35 corridor.<\/p>\n

Still, storms on Wednesday will stay isolated, meaning that many living in the region will stay dry throughout the entire day. That being said, the thunderstorms that do develop could\u00a0produce brief, heavy downpours<\/a> as well as hail and gusty winds across South and Central Texas. Here\u2019s how the day will play out.<\/p>\n

Cloudy, muggy weather will continue Wednesday morning, with temperatures near 70 degrees from 5 to 9 a.m. A few isolated showers are possible, but rain chances will remain low. Temperatures will gradually warm into the upper 70s by noon, with some afternoon sunshine helping highs reach the mid-80s.<\/a><\/p>\n

By mid-afternoon into the evening, a few pop-up thunderstorms are expected, mainly north of Interstate 10. Storm chances will be highest across the Hill Country, where areas such as Kerrville and Fredericksburg will see a 30-40% chance of thunderstorms.<\/p>\n

Parts of the Hill Country are under a level 1 of 5 risk of severe weather. That means most storms will not turn severe but an isolated storm could still produce large hail and damaging winds.<\/p>\n

Farther south, rain chances will be lower, with only a 20% chance of a storm for San Antonio. While the chance is relatively low, any storm that does develop could bring a brief downpour. The severe weather risk for San Antonio is also lower than in the Hill Country.<\/p>\n

A system of high atmospheric pressure is expected to strengthen across South Texas on Thursday and Friday, leading to decreasing rain chances and warmer temperatures. On Thursday, San Antonio will likely see daytime temps rise into the upper 80s, and high humidity will force heat index values, or \u201cfeels like\u201d temperatures,\u00a0into the low 90s.<\/p>\n

Similar weather is anticipated on Friday. Morning lows near 70 degrees will transition to afternoon highs in the upper 80s. Winds will strengthen a bit, likely moving in from the south at 15 to 20 mph.<\/p>\n

A rather strong cold front is expected<\/a> to swing through South Texas by midday Saturday, bringing a drastic shift to the overall weather pattern. The front will send temperatures dropping into the 60s by Saturday afternoon and evening, with overnight lows set to fall into the mid-50s.<\/p>\n

The front will also bring scattered showers and thunderstorms into Central and South Texas, with about a 40-50% chance of rain expected in San Antonio. If you have plans to attend any Fiesta events, be sure to bring a jacket as well as an umbrella.<\/p>\n

Below-average temperatures will continue into Sunday and Monday, as well. Expect morning low temps in the mid-50s, only rising into the upper 60s to low 70s each afternoon. A few more showers are also possible each day, but the severe weather risk will be very low.<\/p>\n

Temperatures will start warming by the middle of the week, likely reaching the mid- to upper 70s by Tuesday before rising back into the 80s by next Wednesday and Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Wednesday, a trough of low atmospheric pressure, which had been hovering across the western United States over…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":250721,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[27,29,28],"class_list":["post-250720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250720","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=250720"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250720\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/250721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=250720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=250720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=250720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
