Weekend rain chances depend on tropical development in Gulf

SAN ANTONIO – A change in the weather pattern is underway, KSAT Meteorologist Justin Horne says.

While the radar is expected to stay quiet Tuesday, rain chances return to the forecast by Wednesday.

A weak frontal boundary will move into Texas and be close enough to bring isolated showers and storms for the Hill Country on Wednesday.

Rain chances will also be around on Thursday.

Tropical development

Then, attention turns to the Gulf of Mexico.

The remnants of Tropical Storm Harvey are forecast to redevelop as the system moves north.  A center of circulation has not developed, meaning the potential path is still in question and may change.

However, computer models currently have the system moving north/northwest towards the Texas coast,  generally east of San Antonio.

Should that hold, parts of South Texas could receive scattered showers and storms by Friday and into the weekend. 

The path will have a large impact on how much rain will fall and where it will fall.
