Cold front to bring thunderstorms, possible tornado to San Antonio, NWS says
The National Weather Service said a strong cold front could bring severe thunderstorms and a low chance of a tornado to San Antonio on Friday, November 4. Bob Fogarty, a meteorologist for the NWS, told MySA that the front is likely to also bring hail to the area.
Fogarty said the primary hazard will be damaging straight-line gusty winds, but large hail and perhaps an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out as of the morning of Wednesday, November 2. The NWS believes the strong storms are likely to come Friday evening, especially north of Interstate 10.
While heavy rainfall is possible, flash flooding is not anticipated, according to the NWS. According to Fogarty, the severe storms will likely be gone by Saturday morning, November 5. Details on precise timing will be revealed at a later time.
On October 24, residents in Jarrell, which is about 12 miles north of Georgetown, experienced a tornado that damaged homes and a fire station. The Weather Channel also reported that the storms caused a tractor-trailer and cars to overturn in a ditch along Interstate 35.
For the weekend, Fogarty said it will be mostly sunny and warm with temperatures in the mid-70s and around the 80s on Sunday, November 6. The temperatures will remain steady into the beginning of next week with perhaps another chance of isolated rain showers and thunderstorms on Monday, November 7.
On Wednesday, the NWS warns the San Antonio community of a dense fog that will lower visibility along Interstate 35. Thereafter, the NWS said to expect afternoon isolated rain showers for a good chunk of South-Central Texas along with mainly cloudy skies.
