Another round of rain and storms is expected to push through South Central Texas Friday, likely making for some soggy spots for the AM commute and drive to school.
Here are the three main things you need to know (a full breakdown can be found below):
As the cold front starts to work its way through West Texas Thursday night, scattered spots of light rain are expected to develop across parts of our area.
Coverage is then expected to increase across our western counties between 4 a.m. – 7 a.m. as the boundary approaches.
This main line of storms will continue tracking eastward, moving through the San Antonio area between 7 a.m. – 10 a.m.
After the storm activity moves through the central parts of the area, it’ll then push through our eastern counties between 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Expect clearing conditions into the afternoon hours once the front passes you by.
While it’s still on the lower end of the spectrum, the Storm Prediction Center gives a 1/5 to 2/5 risk for a few isolated strong & severe storms to develop within this activity.
The primary concern with a stronger storm will be strong, gusty winds, but isolated hail and a brief spin-up can’t be ruled out. (KSAT)
We’ll also need to keep an eye on pockets of heavy rainfall as these storms track across the region.
As of Thursday morning, it’s looking like rainfall totals up to 0.5? – 1? will be possible, with localized higher amounts not out of the question under a few stronger storms.
If needing to navigate around these storms Friday morning, plan on joining Your Weather Authority on our KSAT Weather Authority App for a live appcast and coverage.We’ll plan to jump on right after GMSA ends at 7 a.m.

The vast majority of the area should be clear of the rain by Friday night activities and football games, but winds will be gusting up to 25 – 30 mph at times as drier air filters in behind the cold front.
Temperatures are slated to fall through the 70s for dinnertime plans and then into the 60s after the sun goes down.
While the rain moves out by Friday night plans, it’ll still be plenty gusty with wind gusts up to 25 – 30 mph. (KSAT)
In terms of our weekend forecast, it’ll feel like fall with lows in the 50s followed by highs in the 70s.
