San Antonio Sees Brief Lull After Heavy Late‑May Rains

A short high‑pressure ridge will cut rain chances through Friday signaling higher odds of near‑or‑above‑average rainfall for June 1–5.

Overview

  • Tuesday night’s storms left most of San Antonio with about 1–2 inches of rain and higher pockets in Kendall and Frio counties, producing standing water on some roadways but only minimal reported damage.
  • A separate band of storms moved across southern counties Wednesday morning and stayed mainly south of central San Antonio, though light rain could briefly reach the city.
  • Forecasters estimate Wednesday afternoon rain chances near 30 percent with any storms expected to be short-lived and non‑severe, reducing the immediate flood threat.
  • A temporary high‑pressure ridge is forecast to cut rain chances to around 10 percent on Thursday and Friday, giving the region a short dry window.
  • Long‑range models and the Climate Prediction Center favor renewed rainfall by the weekend and show an 85–90 percent chance of near‑average to above‑average rain for June 1–5, which could prolong above‑normal totals and keep localized flooding risks in play.
