First cool front of the season will approach San Antonio this week

It appears we’ve survived yet another brutal South Texas summer. Fall doesn’t officially arrive until September 22nd, but long stretches of triple-digit heat look to be in our rear-view mirror. Here’s an overview of what to expect for the rest of this week.

Feeling Like Fall?

• A cold front will slide into the Hill Country and Edwards Plateau on Wednesday
• The biggest question is: will the front clear San Antonio?
• As of Wednesday afternoon, it appears San Antonio could at least get a tiny taste of cooler air by Thursday morning
• If the front is able to move farther east, it could get even cooler than that with morning lows near 60° Thursday and Friday

Rain Chances On the Rise

• Regardless of temperatures, rain chances will increase Wednesday as the front approaches
• With pockets of heavy rain possible, a Flash Flood Watch will be in place through Thursday afternoon for Bexar County and & our Hill Country counties - as seen in the image at the top of this article
• Around San Antonio, maximum rainfall potential is up to 1.5 to 2.0 inches of rain
• Near Del Rio, which is experiencing extreme drought, rainfall totals could amount to up to 5 inches through Saturday
• At the very least, the rain and clouds will help to limit high temperatures Wednesday and Thursday
