An additional 2 to 4 inches is likely where storms train, with isolated totals up to 8 inches possible. The ground has no capacity left \u2014 any downpours will re-flood roads and creeks within minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Friday morning \u2014 Flood Watch runs until 12 PM<\/p>\n<p>The Flood Watch holds through midday for Bexar County, the Hill Country and the U.S. 90 corridor. River flooding lags the rain: the Guadalupe at Spring Branch is forecast to crest about a foot above moderate flood stage early Friday, threatening structures and roads near the water in Comal County, while the Medina River warning at Highway 281 continues into the afternoon. Expect a hazardous morning commute.<\/p>\n<p>Friday afternoon \u2014 The pattern finally breaks<\/p>\n<p>The stalled setup responsible for this week&#8217;s deluge loosens its grip Friday afternoon, opening a dry stretch for the area. Rivers stay dangerous even as the rain ends \u2014 flood waves on the Guadalupe and Cibolo will still be working downstream, and re-opened roads can close again wherever runoff converges.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday \u2014 Drying out, rivers receding<\/p>\n<p>The flash flood threat eases substantially, with only lingering showers possible, mainly well west of the area. Rivers recede slowly through the weekend, damage assessment begins in earnest across the hardest-hit counties, and lingering closures remain where floodwater damaged pavement and bridges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CLICK HERE TO WATCH OUR LATEST COVERAGE Tonight \u2014 Thursday night into early Friday morning One more flare-up&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":376188,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":["post-376187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376187","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=376187"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376187\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/376188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=376187"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=376187"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=376187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
