FORECAST

FATHER’S DAY

Just like yesterday, a few storms will develop in the afternoon east of San Antonio. These have a 30% chance to move into the Alamo City and metro area between 2 pm to 6 pm. While most storms will be your run-of-the-mill summer downpours, there is a small chance they could become strong and produce up to quarter sized hail. We’ll be watching the radar closely!

RIVERS, LAKES, AND AQUIFER

The Guadalupe and Comal Rivers are flowing, which will make for good tubing conditions this weekend. Just a small dip in water quality.

A quick check of Medina and Canyon this morning show only small rises of about a foot. It’ll take quite a bit more rain to see any huge movement in these lakes, but this is a start.

Meantime, as Sunday morning, the aquifer is up 8 feet from Tuesday. It’s still rising and is at its highest point since May of 2024. We’ll continue to update these numbers.

THIS WEEK

It will be hot and particularly humid each day this week, but it could be worse. Thankfully, the heat high will stay at bay because of an approaching low from the Gulf. As a result, there is a slight chance for showers and storms Thursday, and highs will be closer to 90° into the weekend.
