We know you’re tired of the rain, San Antonio, but there’s good news … and bad news.

The good news is that the overall risk of severe storms in the area on Thursday remains low, which means that San Antonio is less likely to see aggressive thunderstorms – or have to deal with the effects of the more turbulent weather.

The bad news is that San Antonio is still expected to see heavy rainfall and could see rainstorms through Saturday.

While severe storms are expected to shake up the Hill Country Thursday morning, San Antonio can expect to see between half an inch and an inch of rainfall in the coming days, according to the National Weather Service.

NWS predicts that San Antonio will see rounds of showers and storms through Saturday, with the chances of storms peaking on Friday and Saturday, at which point the storms are expected to shift east.
