FRIDAY (4/28)

  • As of 4 p.m. Friday, scattered rain and storms are starting to fire up in the Hill Country and our far western counties.
  • These storms will continue to intensify (some becoming severe) as additional activity develops along the cold front.
  • These storms will push southward, passing through San Antonio between 5 p.m. - 8 p.m.
  • Large hail and powerful winds being the biggest concerns to monitor, along with lightning.
  • These storms will move fast, pushing into our southeastern counties through 9 p.m. - 11 p.m.

SATURDAY (4/27)

  • A few lingering showers will be possible pre-dawn Saturday (especially farther south), before skies clear by sunrise.
  • You’ll notice the downright WINDY conditions in the morning, with gusts out of the north up to 35-40 mph.
  • Winds should subside by the evening, meaning It’ll still be a bit breezy by Flambeau time (15-20 mph wind gusts). It’ll also be cool, with temperatures falling into the 60s and even 50s by parade’s end.
