Some models do show a tropical low-pressure system that may move along the Texas coast through the middle and end of the week. At this point, rain chances in San Antonio are around 20% to 30%, as the higher rain chances will stay along the coastline, from Corpus Christi to Houston and Galveston.<\/p>\n<p>However, this system will need to be monitored in the coming days, as slight changes in the storm\u2019s track could alter San Antonio\u2019s forecast drastically.
