Wild Horse Photography/Getty ImagesIt’s going to be a rainy week for the San Antonio area. San Antonio managed to see a few scattered showers over the weekend, and you’ll want to keep that umbrella handy as the National Weather Service is predicting more with the potential for flooding toward the end of the week.
NWS said there is a level 1 out of 5 risk for severe storms across South-Central Texas on Monday, May 8. Parts of the western Hill Country and Edwards Plateau are under a level 2 out of 5 risk for storms with the primary concern for storms occurring between 6 p.m. and 1 a.m. San Antonio and much of southwest South-Central Texas is under a marginal risk for severe storms, according to an NWS report.
Storms are likely to develop to the north and west of the region Monday afternoon with the potential for severe storms as the weather event moves in this evening. According to weather experts, large hail and damaging winds are the primary threat.
The threat of storms will continue throughout the week and into the weekend, mostly in the afternoons and evenings, with the repeated rainfall leading to isolated flooding in certain areas. While rain is expected throughout the week, Friday through Sunday possesses the highest chance for widespread rainfall. The National Weather Service says the weekend rain could exceed 3 inches in some places.
