FORECAST

MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

A Flood Watch takes effect 7 PM Sunday and last through 7 PM Tuesday.What you need to know about the flood risk Monday through Tuesday

Very high moisture from the Gulf moves in as a cool front approaches from the north, producing times of storms with heavy, heavy rain. The highest chance (60%-80%) for you to see storms is Monday evening through the day Tuesday.

While these storms will likely not contain hail, they will produce torrential downpours, which will likely lead to street flooding. Most people will see 1″ to 3″ of rain, but there will be bullseyes of over 6 inches of rain in spots. It’s impossible to know exactly where these bullseyes will be, but odds favor points south of Bexar County between I-35 and I-10.

Largest rainfall totals are estimated to occur south and southeast of San Antonio. Increased rates of streamflow are likely and could result in dangerous river crossings.

Street flooding is the primary concern, with dangerous low water crossings and impact to travel. But there is also the risk for some river flooding, especially south of San Antonio. So we’ll need to monitor rapid rises on the Frio, Nueces, and Atascosa Rivers, leading into Choke Canyon and Lake Corpus Christi.

Most of the rain will be done by mid-morning Wednesday.

THE REST OF THE WEEK

It’ll be very hot Thursday, and rain will briefly return Friday before a hot and humid weekend.
