FORECAST

TUESDAY

Tuesday plays out a lot like Monday. It’ll stay mostly quiet until after sunset. Then, a front will shift into the area from the northwest. This, along with the dryline, will kick off storms.

Quiet during the day Tuesday - just warm and humid - then strong storms likely Tuesday night.

TUESDAY NIGHT: 10PM to 4AM

These storms will develop into a line and push south, likely affecting the Hill Country first, and then the San Antonio metro area. Severe weather is possible, with the main risks being damaging wind gusts of 70 mph or greater and quarter sized hail. And while the storms will be moving fairly quickly, some street flooding will also be an issue. Some showers could linger into the Wednesday morning commute.

Future radar at 10pm Tuesday (5/18) night.

WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND

The forecast gets a little fuzzy starting Wednesday. Here’s what we know — the pattern stays active, we’ll have conditions favorable for strong storms, and over time, rounds of heavy rain could result in street flooding. It’s just impossible to know exact timing and what areas these storms will affect. That includes for Memorial Day weekend. As soon as we get more clarity, we will pass that along to you.

Our advice: stay weather aware and check back often for updates!

BENEFICIAL RAIN

It’s worth noting that cumulatively — from Tuesday night through Memorial Day — drought denting rain is likely as we could see up to 5″ of rain in spots.
