The breakdown
More than two inches of rain have fallen so far at San Antonio International Airport as of 3 p.m. Friday, amid what’s turned out to be one of the wettest days of the year thus far.
A Flash Flood Warning that had been in place for most of the morning for Bexar and surrounding counted has lifted, but a Flood Watch remains in effect for San Antonio, the Hill Country and communities to the west until 9 p.m. Friday.
Multiple waves of rain have drenched the region. Some additional rounds are expected in the afternoon and evening hours, but it won’t be as strong as what we saw earlier in the day.
Standing water on low-lying areas and road will remain a hazard. Drivers are urged not to ignore barricades and to find detours if low-lying roadways are flooded.
Isolated pockets of five-plus inches of rain in some San Antonio areas were possible. The rain should clear to the east of the city by 8 p.m. Friday.
The weekend will bring much cooler and sunnier conditions, along with some wind. If you’re in the Hill Country, you might even see the mercury dip below 50 degrees.
Here is a sample of expected Saturday morning lows across the area:
- Rocksprings: 46 degrees
- Fredericksburg: 47
- Llano: 47
- Kerrville: 48
- Uvalde: 50
- Gonzales: 52
- San Marcos: 51
- New Braunfels: 52
- San Antonio: 53
- Del Rio: 54
- Eagle Pass: 55
Looking ahead
The rain will clear out in time for the rescheduled Siclovia on Sunday. The average high temperature for May in San Antonio is 87 degrees, so we’ll be kicking the month off with unseasonably cool conditions this weekend before the mercury rises back to more typical temperatures.
The next chance of rain arrives midweek.
