Storms ending by dawn Saturday, turning windy over the weekend

Widespread 0.50″ to 1.50″ fell around San Antonio, Hill Country Friday night & Saturday morning

Sunshine and winds return for the weekend

January 2024 sure was good to us! Our rainiest month since September 2018, improvements to the aquifer, and the drought is slowly being chipped away.

Still, we could use more rain, and that’s exactly what parts of South Central Texas have found Friday night as rain and storms push through.

KEY POINTS:

  • Friday’s rain continues to move east overnight, clears out by sunrise Saturday
  • Dry and sunny for the 2024 Western Heritage Parade and Cattle Drive on Saturday, but it will be breezy
  • Winds kick up even more so on Sunday, with gusts up to 40-50 mph possible

Friday Night (2/2): Storm Chance Late

A low-pressure system has been moving across the state, sparking up rain and storms locally Friday evening.

This activity will continue to move east overnight, with a second round of scattered rain and rumbles not ruled out in between midnight and 3 a.m. for San Antonio.

Saturday (2/3): Clearing and Breezy

The overnight rain will be out of San Antonio by sunrise Saturday, with just a few lingering showers & storms exiting through our eastern counties by that time.

Skies clear throughout the morning as the 2024 Western Heritage Parade and Cattle Drive gets underway, but it will be breezy as healthy northwest winds kick on.

Plenty of sunshine and low humidity will be the theme into the afternoon, with a high temperature near 70 degrees.

Sunday (2/4): WINDY

The big story on Sunday will be the winds, as gusts up to 45-50 mph will be possible.

This will elevate the fire danger, especially out west (near the Rio Grande) where rainfall totals haven’t been as high this year.

Additionally, loose lawn items and empty trash cans could get tossed around a bit. Make sure to secure those before heading out to any Sunday plans!

Other than the gusty winds, it’ll be a nice day with plenty of sunshine and highs near 70 degrees.
