FORECAST

After a stretch of near average temperatures, we’ll add a few degrees to the afternoon highs in the days ahead with triple digits likely by Friday and especially the weekend in San Antonio.

RAIN CHANCES

The upper-level “heat high” will drift west by this weekend opening the door to upper energy and a weak frontal boundary, which could trigger a few showers and storms - particularly in the Hill Country. However, this is not a situation where flooding is a threat.

Isolated showers and storms possible Saturday evening - particularly in the Hill Country. (Copyright 2024 by KSAT - All rights reserved.)

RIVER UPDATES

River flooding continues along the Nueces from rains 2 weeks ago (Copyright KSAT-12 2026 - All Rights Reserved)

Even though the weather is calm, the Nueces River is still dealing with major flooding from the rain two weeks ago. Water levels are finally starting to drop near Cotulla, but the flood crest is still heading downstream. It’ll reach major flood stage near Three Rivers to George West from Thursday through at least the weekend.

If you’re in Three Rivers or George West, please stay alert and make sure to follow any instructions from local officials. This flood will be a couple of feet higher than the flood of 2013, cresting near 40 ft.

Nueces river near Three Rivers is expected to hit major flood stage starting Thursday morning. (Copyright 2024 by KSAT - All rights reserved.)
