Saturday evening there will be thunderstorm development to the west of our area near the border. However, overnight those storms could move farther east and reach our area with the potential to bring lighting and a slight risk of small hail.

Sunday moisture levels increase and San Antonio will have another chance for rain and thunderstorms. These storms could bring another round for San Antonio to experience gusty winds and hail. Greater chances for storm activity will be in the evening with the potential for locally heavy rainfall and flooding. Rainfall amounts could range from 1-2 inches and higher amounts possible in localized areas.
