FORECAST

Today was a lot quieter than the past few days on the radar screen, but our atmosphere still managed to pop a couple of isolated showers. Friday’s rain looks very limited as well with the best chance along the Gulf Coast.

TROPICAL WAVE IN GULF

You’ll be hearing quite a bit about a tropical wave in the Gulf over the next 24 to 48 hours. Yes, there is a low-end chance of development. But, as of this morning, it remains disorganized and time is running out. It’ll move northwest toward the Rio Grande Valley, arriving to deep South Texas midday Friday.

SATURDAY RAIN CHANCES

As this tropical wave moves north, good moisture and rainmaking energy will be slung in our direction. Our window for rain will be fairly small, but scattered downpours in San Antonio will be possible, especially for the first half of the day on Saturday. Thanks to the fast movement of this system, flooding potential is minimal.
