SAN ANTONIO – Thursday’s drought monitor showed that we continue to be stuck in a long-term drought.
A soaking rainfall would be a nice change of pace.
While it won’t be widespread, a few of us could tap into some rainfall tonight. Here are the details:
- As a cold front approaches the area, a few showers to a stray storm may develop, cross the Rio Grande, and move into our far western counties after 11 p.m.
- This relatively isolated activity could continue into the early morning hours of our Friday, before a piece of energy tries to send another cluster of weakening storms into the western reaches of the area after 3 a.m.
- As of 8 p.m. Thursday, the Storm Prediction Center has removed the central portions of our area from the low-end 1/5 risk for a severe storm tonight. However, our far western counties are still included should a strong storm crossing over the Rio Grande require some extra attention. The biggest threats in that case would be hail and strong winds.
- A few lingering showers will be possible by sunrise Friday, but activity quickly comes to an end through the remainder of the morning with peeks of sunshine returning Friday afternoon.
- Friday will only see highs in the 70s, before warmth and humidity make a return on Saturday.
