Chances for rain in San Antonio will continue throughout the day Thursday into the evening. The NWS predicts rain chances at 40-50 percent.
KSAT Weather Authority Meteorologist Katie Vossler says thanks to moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and some of the remnants from Tropical Storm Odile, a deep layer of tropical air is in place over South Texas.
This tropical air mass will cause high humidity and will be a big reason for the rain chances that will stick around through the end of the week.
Think of the atmosphere as a sponge full of water. When storms develop, that's the atmosphere's way of wringing out the sponge, which means expect some heavy downpours.
Be careful on your daily commutes as flash flooding could become a problem for some.
