The storms are expected to continue, according to the National Weather Service (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.weather.gov\/ewx\/\" data-link=\"native\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">NWS<\/a>).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Forecasters say San Antonio, Uvalde, and Fredericksburg are among the cities at a level two out of four risk for upcoming showers to cause flash flooding in some areas. The South-Central region is currently looking at receiving\u00a00.5 to 1 inch of rain, with isolated amounts from 2 to 5 inches expected through the morning of Thursday, May 21.<\/p>\n<p>During the daylight hours, it will be partly sunny with a high near 84 degrees. Come nighttime, though, the precipitation chance shoots to 70%. The rain would most likely begin overnight, with the peak likelihood along U.S. 281 (mainly\u00a0the Alamo City, Hondo, and the New Braunfels areas) being between 2 a.m. and 7 a.m. on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>The NWS expects the system to\u00a0move into the southern Edwards Plateau and Rio Grande Plains this afternoon. The severe threat will lessen as storms continue towards and east of the I-35 corridor, the agency says.<\/p>\n<p>Uvalde, Rocksprings, and Carrizo Springs are at a level one out of five risk for storms turning severe this evening. Del Rio is at level two.\u00a0Residents are most likely to see them develop between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. on Thursday.
