SAN ANTONIO, Texas<\/strong> \u2014 After more than a week of rain-soaked afternoons and swollen creeks, quiet skies finally returned<\/strong> to Central and South Texas<\/strong> on Thursday<\/strong>. But that dry stretch<\/strong> may not last long. A new round of weekend storms<\/strong> is expected to develop across the region, bringing isolated downpours<\/strong> and a renewed flood risk<\/strong>, especially in parts of the Hill Country<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s how the weather is shaping up heading into the weekend.<\/p>\n Friday morning started off calm across San Antonio<\/strong>, with mild temperatures in the mid-70s\u00b0F (24\u00b0C)<\/strong> and partly cloudy skies<\/strong>. Conditions were slightly cooler in the Hill Country<\/strong>, where towns like Kerrville<\/strong> and Fredericksburg<\/strong> woke up to lows around 70\u00b0F (21\u00b0C)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n By the afternoon, expect temperatures to climb quickly, reaching the low 90s\u00b0F (33\u201334\u00b0C)<\/strong> in San Antonio<\/strong>, right in line with what\u2019s typical for mid-July<\/strong>. For the 52nd day in a row, the city is expected to avoid hitting the triple-digit mark<\/strong>, a streak that\u2019s becoming more notable as summer wears on.<\/p>\n While most areas will stay dry, there\u2019s a slight chance\u2014around 10%<\/strong>\u2014for a few isolated showers or weak thunderstorms<\/strong> to pop up during the late afternoon and early evening. These will be hit-or-miss<\/strong>, and any rainfall is likely to be short-lived.<\/p>\n As high pressure begins to ease, the door opens for more widespread thunderstorm activity<\/strong> across the region on Saturday<\/strong>. Rain chances rise to about 30%<\/strong> for much of the Hill Country<\/strong>, including towns like Comfort<\/strong>, Marble Falls<\/strong>, Fredericksburg<\/strong>, and Kerrville<\/strong>. Along the I-35 corridor<\/strong>, including Austin<\/strong> and San Antonio<\/strong>, storm chances are slightly lower, closer to 20%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The best window for rainfall appears to be from mid-afternoon through the evening<\/strong>, roughly 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.<\/strong>. Daytime highs will remain consistent with recent days\u2014hovering in the lower 90s\u00b0F (33\u00b0C)<\/strong>\u2014but increased humidity<\/strong> will drive heat index values<\/strong> near 100\u00b0F (38\u00b0C)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n A Level 2 out of 4 risk<\/strong> for excessive rainfall<\/strong> has been issued by the National Weather Service\u2019s Weather Prediction Center<\/strong> for West Texas<\/strong>, the Panhandle<\/strong>, and parts of North Texas<\/strong>, where flooding concerns are more pronounced. However, areas farther south\u2014including Boerne<\/strong>, New Braunfels<\/strong>, Austin<\/strong>, and San Antonio<\/strong>\u2014fall under a Level 1 risk<\/strong>, meaning there\u2019s at least a 5% chance<\/strong> of localized flooding if storms stall over the same location.<\/p>\n On Sunday, the setup remains fairly unchanged. A mix of sun and clouds<\/strong> will dominate the morning, followed by scattered thunderstorms<\/strong> during the afternoon and evening. Rain chances will again range from 20% to 30%<\/strong>, primarily in and around San Antonio<\/strong> and the Hill Country<\/strong>.<\/p>\n As with Saturday, any storms that do develop will be slow-moving<\/strong> and capable of dumping several inches of rain<\/strong> in a short amount of time, potentially leading to flash flooding<\/strong> in vulnerable areas. While not everyone will see rain, those who do could see intense bursts of rainfall<\/strong> and brief ponding on roads.<\/p>\n Early next week, rain chances begin to back off as a ridge of high pressure strengthens<\/strong> over the region. On Monday and Tuesday<\/strong>, expect only a 10% chance<\/strong> of showers under partly sunny skies<\/strong>, with high temperatures holding steady in the mid-90s\u00b0F (35\u00b0C)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n From Wednesday through Friday<\/strong>, temperatures are forecast to creep even higher, with highs reaching 96\u00b0F to 98\u00b0F (36\u201337\u00b0C)<\/strong>. Rain chances will drop even further, likely staying below 10%<\/strong> each day. The dry, hot summer pattern<\/strong> looks set to re-establish itself across South-Central Texas<\/strong> by the second half of the week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SAN ANTONIO, Texas \u2014 After more than a week of rain-soaked afternoons and swollen creeks, quiet skies finally returned to Central and South Texas on Thursday.
