San Antonio residents should brace for more rain on Friday. Over the past 24 hours the city has already recorded more than an inch of rainfall, and nearby Del Rio reported over four inches. Showers and occasional heavier downpours are expected to develop later this morning and move through the metro area.
Flood Watch remains in effect
The National Weather Service has kept a Flood Watch active for communities along the Rio Grande. Additional rain could raise water levels, but officials say widespread flooding is not anticipated in San Antonio proper. Minor street flooding may occur in low‑lying areas, so drivers should exercise caution.
Rain tapering this evening
Forecasters expect the precipitation to lessen as the day progresses, with rain tapering off by early evening. Temperatures will stay in the 70s, providing a relatively mild backdrop for the weekend.
Drier weather for Halloween
Looking ahead to Saturday, the forecast turns much drier. Cloud cover will dominate most of the day, keeping temperatures from climbing above the low‑70s. While a stray shower cannot be completely ruled out, the likelihood is low, and the overall outlook is for partly cloudy skies.
These conditions should make for comfortable trick‑or‑treating hours, with mild temperatures and minimal rain risk. Families can plan outdoor activities without worrying about sudden downpours.
Tuesday’s cold front brings sunshine
Early Tuesday morning a cold front is expected to sweep through the region. The front may bring a brief window for a shower or storm, after which skies should clear rapidly. Humidity will drop, and breezy, sunny conditions are forecast for the afternoon.
By late Tuesday afternoon, residents can look forward to beautiful weather, with clear skies and comfortable temperatures. The pattern suggests a pleasant stretch of dry, sunny days following the brief rainy spell.
Overall, San Antonio’s weather this weekend transitions from a wet Friday to a dry, mild Saturday perfect for Halloween festivities, followed by a sunny Tuesday as a cold front moves in.
