At around midnight Thursday, the upper level storm system and cold front responsible for the nasty weather will reach the Interstate 35 corridor. When that occurs, the NWS said, the primary threat will shift to heavy winds and the possibility of isolated tornadoes “as the environment will support the development of rapid spin-ups along the leading edge of the thunderstorm line.”
Bexar County is expected to receive about 1 to 1.5 inches of total rainfall, beginning Wednesday afternoon. Areas east of I-35 and north of Interstate 10 could receive up to 3 inches of rain. The NWS said the expected speed at which the storms will be traveling could limit the threat of flooding.
