The breakdown
We’re tracking a significant severe weather setup expected to impact the South-Central Texas region starting Tuesday afternoon. Monday’s warm temperatures are setting the stage for heavy rain, gusty winds, and hail across the region Tuesday and Wednesday. A tornado watch has been issued for parts of Texas including Uvalde and Kerrville until 10 p.m.
A cold front and upper-level disturbance will move through the area from late Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday, bringing a line of showers and thunderstorms this evening through early Wednesday morning. Severe storms of all types are possible, especially across the Edwards Plateau and western Hill Country, where there’s an Enhanced Risk (level 3 of 5). Heavy rain could also cause localized flooding. As the system moves out, scattered storms — a few of them strong to severe — may develop along and east of the I-35 and I-37 corridors from midday through Wednesday evening.
While the tornado threat should decrease before the storms arrive to San Antonio, we are still expecting very loud thunderstorms and heavy rain. Most spots in the area will see between one and three inches of rain, which could result in localized flooding for the Wednesday morning commute.
The good news is all things clears out by Wednesday afternoon. We’ll see much drier conditions for the second half of the week, leading into a sunny weekend expected to bring highs in the 80s.
