Another cold front is making its way to South Central Texas and is slated to arrive Friday evening.
Meteorologist Adam Caskey has the latest. You can watch the live weathercast in the video player above.
After pockets of drizzle & light showers were found Friday morning, a chance for a few storms to pop up arrives with the front this evening, mainly east of San Antonio.
Here are the main messages you need to know regarding this next storm chance:
Further details breaking down the next 18 hours can be found below.
After a muggy & damp start, the cloud cover aims to break up a bit into the afternoon hours, helping daytime highs climb into the 80s. It also could be a bit breezy throughout the day, with a southeast wind gusting upwards of 25 mph at times.
A stray shower can’t be ruled out this afternoon either before that next storm chance for parts of the area arrives Friday night.
It’s becoming a low-end chance for San Antonio, but a few showers & storms may develop along the cold front Friday evening, mainly east of town.
As our next cold front approaches from the west, a line of rain and storms is expected to develop along the boundary somewhere near the San Antonio area.
The biggest question will be where the storms develop as the front moves through. The timeframe that we’ll be keeping our eyes on the radar will generally be in between 6 – 10 p.m. Friday.
Friday morning’s data continues to point towards higher rain chances being just east of San Antonio as the line eventually fills in across our far southern and eastern counties.
*If* we do manage to find the line develop a bit earlier and closer to San Antonio, we may briefly need the umbrella for Friday evening plans. As of Friday morning though, that chance is overall looking pretty low in town.
While a low-end chance, the Storm Prediction Center still has a chunk of South Central Texas placed in a 1/5 (central) to 2/5 (east) risk for an isolated strong/severe storm to develop as this activity moves through.
The higher severe threat is to our northeast, but should a storm require some extra attention, we’ll primarily be monitoring for instances of strong, gusty winds.
If a storm were to pop up in South Central Texas, there is a low-end chance that it could quickly become strong/severe.
Small hail and a brief spin-up can’t completely be ruled out, but they are of the lower concerns with this round of storms. Lightning may also attempt to send some Friday night plans inside for a bit (especially southeast of San Antonio), so we’ll keep tabs on that as well.
