However, the rain isn\u2019t quite over. The cold front will stall out on Friday, leading to pockets of especially heavy rainfall across South Texas \u2013 particularly during the early morning hours. This could result in more\u00a0flash flooding in the Hill Country, the Interstate 35 corridor, and parts of the San Antonio metro area.<\/p>\n

Some roadways across the region could become flooded<\/a> during the Friday morning commute. If you have to travel, do so with extreme caution. However, not everyone will see significant rainfall. Here\u2019s an overview of when to expect the heaviest rainfall, and when drier weather is expected to return.<\/p>\n

The highest chance of heavy rainfall will come early in the morning, specifically between 4 a.m. and 9 a.m. Friday. Some storms during this time could produce rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour, resulting in flash flooding.<\/p>\n

The strongest activity also could produce wind gusts of up to 50 mph, as well as frequent lightning.<\/p>\n

Rainfall will likely start to break apart after sunrise, but we could still have about a 50% chance of additional rainfall from 9 a.m. through the early afternoon. Although scattered showers will continue into the afternoon and evening, the intensity of the rain is likely to become lighter as the day goes on.<\/p>\n

A flood watch will remain in effect<\/a> across South Texas through 7 p.m. Friday. New rainfall totals Friday between 1 to 3 inches are possible for San Antonio and the Interstate 35 corridor. However, isolated totals of 6 inches or more are possible where the strongest storms develop.<\/p>\n

Temperatures on Friday will also be the coolest San Antonio has experienced in quite some time. Daytime temps are likely to top out in the upper 70s to lower 80s, while overnight temperatures Friday night will fall into the low 70s.<\/p>\n

With the cold front still stalled out near the San Antonio area, more showers and storms will be possible into the weekend. On Saturday, San Antonio will have about a 50% to 60% chance of rain, with chances falling to around 40% by Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

This rainfall is expected to be lighter than our previous storms. However, a few embedded thunderstorms could still result in isolated flooding, especially because the ground is already saturated.<\/p>\n

Rainfall totals of a quarter-inch to 0.75 inch is expected this weekend, but isolated spots could see up to 2 inches of new rainfall. Rain chances are expected to decrease significantly by late Sunday afternoon and evening.<\/p>\n

Temperatures will also stay relatively cool. Expect afternoons to top out near 80 degrees both Saturday and Sunday, with mornings falling into the upper 60s to near 70 degrees.<\/p>\n

Much drier weather is expected through the middle of next week with mostly sunny skies likely from Monday through Wednesday. Temperatures will likely rise back into the mid-80s, while morning temps become comfortably mild in the 60s. Long-range models do show the potential of rain chances returning by the second half of next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"However, the rain isn\u2019t quite over.
