Heavy rain soaked the northeast side of San Antonio and areas near New Braunfels and Seguin on Monday, dropping as much as 3 to 6 inches in some spots and flooding construction zones and creeks.
Rain will keep coming in waves overnight, though it is expected to stay mainly light. Lingering showers are likely Tuesday morning, and those headed to NIOSA Tuesday night should see the rain winding down. Highs on Tuesday will only reach the upper-60s before temperatures climb again later in the week, with Friday expected to be near 90.
The wet spell fits an active South Texas weather pattern, but it is not a washout forecast. Odds for rain are not high each day, yet isolated storms are expected Wednesday through the weekend, and severe weather cannot be ruled out if one of them strengthens.
That mix leaves the region in a familiar but uneasy spot: enough rain to trigger flooding in low-lying trouble spots now, with enough instability left in the forecast to keep attention on the sky through the end of the week. Anyone checking road conditions should be alert for impacts similar to those seen during other flood warning events, including closures and delays in hard-hit areas.
