Overview
- Heavy storms early Saturday morning dropped rapid rainfall in parts of San Antonio, with some locations receiving more than 2 inches and prompting flash flood warnings and low‑water crossing closures.
- The Weather Prediction Center placed portions of Central and South‑Central Texas at a low‑end (level 1 of 4) excessive‑rainfall risk, meaning isolated flash flooding is possible rather than widespread inundation.
- Scattered showers and slow‑moving storms remain possible into Saturday afternoon with roughly a 20–40% chance and the greatest threat between about 1 p.m. and 6 p.m., so localized heavy downpours could still develop.
- Forecasts show a drying trend by Monday as a high‑pressure ridge builds, bringing daytime highs in the mid‑to‑upper‑90s and heat‑index values near or above 100 through much of next week.
- The NWS says its warning methods did not change and notes that a recent Apple update, together with multiple overnight alerts, altered how residents received and perceived warnings during the event.
