Residents of the Bexar County area may want to think twice before hitting the roads this afternoon on Monday, April 25. As of this writing, there is a marginal risk for isolated strong to severe storms, according to the National Weather Service.

“We have a cold front moving across our area as we speak, and as the frontal boundary pushes to the southeast we’re going to have storms developing along it and behind it. The stronger storms are capable of producing large hail and strong winds,” Orlando Bermudez, a National Weather Service meteorologist, tells MySA.

Wind gusts could reach up to 20 miles per hour. There is about a 70% chance that storms will occur and the accumulated rainfall is expected to be between half and three quarters of an inch, according to NWS. The strongest, most active window for these storms to occur will be from noon to 5 p.m. This may be the best time to avoid the highway. However, wet weather could persist beyond this time frame.

“There is a chance for showers to still be lingering into the evening hours and even into the overnight,” says Bermudez.

Tuesday, April 26 will bring cloudy skies and cooler temperatures, with a slim chance of storms before 1 p.m. Highs are expected to linger in the low 70s with lows somewhere in the 60s.

If you do plan on being out and about this afternoon, it would behoove you to be prepared for storms.
