THIS WEEK: We have a few chilly mornings but afternoons will be getting warmer each day. In fact, we will be near record highs on Friday. We still do need rain. Unfortunately, there is none in the 7 day forecast.

7:27PM: Most of the severe storms are in South Texas. There are still showers in Central Texas moving south. We still have a chance for those to make it to San Antonio but I don't anticipate severe storms.

5:52PM: This 2 hour loop shows how storms rapidly developed in the San Antonio metro area. Storms near Seguin are severe with quarter size hail being the main threat. Storm in eastern Bexar is also strong with hail indicated. Storm over Boerne moving SE also strong.

TIME CHANGE: Friendly reminder to change those clocks back one hour Sunday morning at 2am. This is also a good reminder to change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors along with weather radios.

CHANCE FOR SHOWERS: On Saturday late afternoon and evening there is a 20-30% chance for a showers and isolated storms. I'm not expecting severe weather for the San Antonio area. Just be aware if you have any outdoor plans mainly Saturday night.

DROUGHT IMPROVED: San Antonio and parts of South Central Texas saw an improvement in this morning's update thanks to this past weekend's rain and storms. However, the drought expanded south of San Antonio. They didn't see much rain.

RECORD HIGH: This afternoon as the front moved into the San Antonio area, the temperature went up to 91 degrees. This broke the record high of 90 degrees set back in 1931.

4PM WIND GUSTS: Wind gusts behind the front are ranging from near 20 mph up to 36 mph being reported at San Antonio Int'l Airport.

COLD FRONT ARRIVING: Because the front is picking up dust and other debris, the radar can see it. The front is now entering northern Bexar county. Gusty winds 15-25 mph already observed behind the front. They will get stronger the rest of the afternoon.

RED FLAG WARNING: has been issued for most of South Texas including the San Antonio area for Wednesday, October 29th. High winds and low relative humidity values can cause wildfires (if they start) to spread rapidly. Any type of outdoor burning is not recommended & dispose of cigarettes properly.

WIND ADVISORY: Was just issued for South Central Texas. This goes into effect at 2pm today through 7pm on Wednesday. Sustained winds up to 30 mph and gusts 45 mph possible. This is the best time to secure outdoor furniture or Halloween decorations.

COLD FRONT: Is just hours away. It's now entering the Edwards Plateau. Expecting the front to arrive in San Antonio around 1pm (give or take an hour). Winds will increase. Gusts up to 35 mph this afternoon and gusts this evening/overnight up to 45 mph. Cooler temps also on the way too.

MELISSA: As of 7pm, Hurricane Melissa is Category 5 storm with sustained winds of 175 mph. This is bringing heavy rain and high winds to Jamaica.

BIG CHANGES ON THE WAY: A cold front arrives tomorrow around midday. This front will bring increasing winds, lower humidity, along with a high fire threat on Wednesday. 1/2

FLOOD WATCH EXTENDED: for Bexar county until 9pm tonight. Scattered showers and storms are redeveloping across the area. It's possible to see an additional 1-2" of rain and isolated higher amounts.

10:49AM: Strong storms about to move into NW Bexar county. They could up to quarter size hail and gusty winds. Locally heavy rain also possible.

RAINFALL TOTALS: Areas of southern Bexar county have seen the most rainfall with a range of 2-3 inches. 1-1.5 inches in nothern Bexar county. With rain still in the area, these amounts will still go up. Definitely good news, the recharge zone getting in on the action.

12:34AM: As storms continue to move through San Antonio, I'm watching another cluster of strong storms over Del Rio. I'm expecting this to continue moving east and could make it to San Antonio in the next couple of hours.

12:06AM: Severe storms with gusty winds and heavy rain continues to move through San Antonio. Residents in southern Bexar county this is heading in your direction too.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH: issued for the San Antonio area until 3am Saturday morning. Storms getting better organized west of Del Rio. They will continue to move east this evening. Hail, gusty winds, and an isolated tornado or two possible later tonight.

DROUGHT UPDATE: In this morning's update, the Extreme category expanded more across South Central Texas. Thankfully we have rain in the forecast however it won't be drought ending rain. I will say every little bit helps.

SOGGY SATURDAY: Here is an update that rain and storm chances look good for our area. Take these weather models images with a grain of salt but the general idea is there. Widespread rain and storms is likely. Rain could be heavy and lead to flash flooding. Stay weather aware!

CONFIDENCE INCREASING: The best rain chance we have seen in a while is expected later this week. My confidence is increasing for widespread showers and storms late Friday night into Saturday. Some rain could be heavy. There is also a small severe threat for gusty winds as well.

TIED THE HIGH: San Antonio reached 93° this afternoon. This ties the record set back in 1895 and 2007. With above average temperatures we have seen this month, we are on track to having the warmest October on record in San Antonio.

FIRE THREAT UPDATE: The Storm Prediction Center flagged South Central Texas under an "Elevated" level for Sunday. This was placed because models are showing much drier air moving in. This along with gusty winds and ongoing drought, could cause wildfires to spread if they start.

ELEVATED FIRE THREAT: With the passage of a front Sunday morning, winds will increase and relative humidity values will fall. There is a fire threat on Sunday mainly in the morning but slowly decreases afternoon. Monday morning temps in the 50s. Some models are showing low 50s in San Antonio.

WEEKEND FORECAST: Record heat possible tomorrow. Record is 93° set back in 2007. Front arrives late Saturday. Less than 10% chance for a shower. Front will bring lower humidity, temps down a bit, and breezy winds. Gusts could reach up to 25 mph.

WE NEED RAIN: and it looks like we are going to get some. Climate Prediction Center is indicating above average precipitation for next week. Long range models show a cold front arriving around the 23rd. Timing could fluctuate a bit as another model I look at shows perhaps near the 24-25th.

OZONE ACTION DAY: Declared for Wednesday, October 15, 2025 for the San Antonio metro area. You are asked to reduce pollution by refueling after 6pm, avoid drive thru lanes, and carpool to work or school.

THIS WEEK: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies with above average temperatures. On Saturday, we have a chance to tie the record high. A weak cold front arrives late Saturday/early Sunday and gives us a chance for showers and storms. Chances are low but I'm rooting it on.

2:21PM: It's good to see showers across South Texas this afternoon. As we go through the next few hours, these spotty showers and/or thunderstorms will move across the area. Expect light to moderate (occasional heavy shower). No severe weather or flash flooding expected.

SHOWER CHANCE: Tomorrow (Friday) there will be a very small 10-20% chance for an isolated shower or storm across South Texas. Not going to amount to a whole lot when it comes to rainfall totals. If you're lucky enough to see a shower, it won't last more than a couple of minutes.

TROPICS: Hurricane Humberto and Tropical Storm Imelda are in the Atlantic. Humberto remains a major hurricane. Outer bands from Imelda are bringing rain to the southeastern United States. The center of these tropical cyclones will remain over the open waters.

FIRE DANGER: Tomorrow and Wednesday, the Texas Forest Service has placed Bexar county in a "Very High" Fire Danger category. I don't anticipate high winds but due to the dry nature of vegetation and lack of rain in the forecast, it won't take much to start a wildfire.

RAPID ONSET DROUGHT RISK: Yes, it looks like a ghost eating Austin or Roger from American Dad. The Climate Prediction Center has flagged parts of Texas for rapid onset for drought next week. Without significant rain chances, drought will continue to deteriorate across Texas.

THIS WEEKEND: With the cold front that went through earlier this week, low humidity will continue this weekend. Low temps in the 60s and high temps in the 90s with high cirrus clouds passing by. This will make for pretty sunrises and sunsets. Enjoy it!

FRIDAY MORNING: Dry air will be moving in this afternoon thanks to yesterday's cold front. With dew points mainly below 60°, it will feel comfortable in the morning with temps in the upper 60s in San Antonio. Areas in the Hill Country will be in the upper 50s. Enjoy it!

1:06PM: Cold front moving through San Antonio right now. Showers and isolated storms are developing in the city right now. A strong storm or two are possible this afternoon but the threat is isolated. The higher rainfall totals will be south of SA through the overnight hours.

TOMORROW (WEDNESDAY): Cold front will be moving into the San Antonio area around midday. This will bring scattered showers & storms. Isolated storms could be strong to severe with gusty winds being the main threat. Isolated flash flooding possible too. Be weather aware tomorrow.

CHANGES ON THE WAY: First, hot temps the next couple of days. Blah! Doesn't last long. Cold front arrives on Wednesday bringing showers and storms. Isolated severe storms along with low end flash flood threat. Lower humidity to end the week with nice cool mornings heading into the weekend.

EARTHQUAKE: Something we haven't seen in a while. A 3.3 magnitude earthquake occurred around 1:30pm in Karnes County.

NOT GOOD NEWS: The Climate Prediction Center issued their seasonal drought outlook yesterday. For Texas it shows through the end of the year that the drought will develop and/or persist. Multiple long-range forecasts I've seen are calling for below average precipitation heading into Winter.

HOT WEEK AHEAD: Over the next couple of days we have a slight rain and storm chance. We have another opportunity heading into the weekend. Temperatures will remain above average this week.

HOT AND THEN WET: The next couple of days will be hot compared to average. It won't last long. I'm tracking Hurricane Lorena in the Eastern Pacific. As we head into the weekend, the forecast track has this heading toward Baja California. The remnants will move east toward Texas. The concern is a 1/3

RAINFALL TOTALS: This rain was beneficial to San Antonio. Doppler estimates from half an inch up to almost 6". San Antonio officially received 3.11" just shy of the record of 3.20" for August 31st.

7:17PM: Flash Flood Warning for Bexar county until 10:15pm. Doppler estimates over 2" indicated. Rain and storms will continue the next couple of hours.

7PM: New Flood Advisory for central Bexar county until 10pm. Up to 1.5" has fallen and more rain is expected. This means low lying areas will begin or already are flooding.
