Overview
- Scattered light-to-moderate showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected Saturday, with San Antonio facing roughly a 40% morning chance and about a 30% afternoon chance and gusty winds of 20 to 30 mph.
- This week’s cold front already dropped notable rain, with San Antonio measuring about 2.12 inches on Thursday and roughly 0.5 inch on Friday, producing one of the city’s wettest starts to October on record.
- New rainfall totals over the weekend are forecast to be modest for most areas, about 0.1 to 0.5 inch, though a few pockets west of San Antonio could see 1 inch or more from localized downpours.
- The National Weather Service expects precipitable water to fall as northerly winds arrive, clearing the region and bringing sunnier, cooler days and noticeably lower humidity beginning Monday.
- Long-range models hint rain could return by next weekend but disagree on timing and strength, so residents with outdoor plans should monitor updates because localized heavy bursts could still cause brief flooding or impact fields and events.
