BEXAR COUNTY, Texas — WEATHER IMPACT DAYS: Sunday through Tuesday, March 8-10

Reason: Chances for rain over the next several days as well as storms, some of which could be strong. 

The breakdown

Cooler weather from Saturday has stuck around, limiting the potential for severe storms on Sunday. Some pockets of heavy rainfall are cropping up, but most in the San Antonio region may find themselves waking up to no more than light showers and cloudy skies. 

A Flood Advisory is in effect for parts of Atascosa and Frio counties until 2:15 p.m., according to the National Weather Service. In those regions, some areas have received up to four inches of rain. A separate Flood Advisory is also in effect for parts of DeWitt and Gonzales counties until 2:45 p.m. due to the potential for minor flood in areas where one to three inches of rain have already fallen.

KENS 5 has received some reports of lightning strikes and hail so far on Sunday. 

The good news is storms are expected to stay fairly scattered in the afternoon, so not everyone will see rain. Afternoon temperatures will stay on the cooler side for March, topping out in the mid to upper-60s across San Antonio. 

Rain chances linger into Sunday night with mostly cloudy skies and mild overnight lows in the 60s.

Monday turns warmer and more humid as Gulf moisture returns, pushing highs to back near 80 degrees. 

That warmth will help fuel a more active weather setup by Tuesday and Wednesday. Strong to possibly severe storms could develop during that time with heavy rain, gusty winds and hail possible in parts of South-Central Texas. 

The timing and exact impacts will become clearer over the next couple days, so it’s a good time to stay weather aware. By Thursday, we will be a lot sunnier. In the meantime, have the umbrella handy on Sunday!
