San Antonio residents should prepare for a wet weekend as the National Weather Service predicts scattered showers Saturday afternoon followed by a more extensive rain event Sunday. Outdoor plans on Saturday morning or around midday are still viable, but keep an eye on the sky after 2 p.m. for possible showers.
Saturday: Mild temperatures, possible showers
Temperatures on Saturday will range from the low 60s in the northwest part of the metro area to the mid‑70s in the south and east. While the morning should be clear and comfortable for errands or family outings, scattered showers could develop after 2 p.m., especially in higher‑elevation neighborhoods. Checking the local radar before heading out is advisable.
Sunday: Classic late‑autumn rain
Sunday will bring a classic late‑autumn rain day across South Central Texas. Expect overcast skies, cooler temperatures in the 50s and low 60s, and widespread rain. Most precipitation will be light to moderate, but occasional heavier downpours could produce minor ponding in urban areas. Residents should drive cautiously and avoid low‑lying roads that may become slick.
Rainfall totals through Monday
Forecasters are tracking much‑needed rain moving into the region, with total amounts expected to range from 1 to 3 inches across most of San Antonio and surrounding counties. Some localized spots could see up to 5 inches. Unlike the intense, short‑duration storms typical of spring and summer, this rain will be spread over several days, helping to keep flooding risks lower than they might be with a single, high‑intensity event.
Extended outlook: Rain continues into early next week
Steady rain and showers are likely to persist through Monday, with the potential for localized flooding in low‑lying areas. Temperatures will remain cool and dreary, staying in the 50s and 60s. Conditions are expected to improve on Tuesday, when skies should clear and highs rebound into the 70s, offering a welcome break after several days of wet weather.
Residents are encouraged to stay informed through local news outlets, the National Weather Service website, and mobile weather apps. Preparing for wet conditions—such as securing outdoor items, planning alternate routes, and allowing extra travel time—will help keep families safe and comfortable throughout the weekend.
