Hail up to one inch in diameter is a possibility due to isolated to widely scattered severe storms, while an isolated tornado or two also can’t be ruled out, according to the weather service.
Additional chances for scattered showers and isolated storms are possible across the Hill Country and along I-35. A few of these storms could become strong to severe by the afternoon, the National Weather Service added.
Original story as follows:
Less then a week after overnight rainstorms knocked out power for residents and businesses across town, the National Weather Service has predicted another round of severe weather storms for the Alamo City.
Remnants of Hurricane Roslyn from the Eastern Pacific, coupled with an incoming cold front will lead to the possibility of isolated strong or severe storms on Monday, October 24.
The weather service predicts that the round of showers and storms will most likely occur midday on Monday and carry out through the evening. Rainfall amounts will primarily be around an inch or less but brief, heavy rainfall rates may lead to isolated street flooding, according to the National Weather Service.
San Antonio residents will also want to be weary of damaging wind gusts, the weather service added.
A second round of showers and storms is possible on Monday night, NWS says
