Severe Storms Forecasted for San Antonio This Evening with Limited Rainfall

San Antonio, Texas, is bracing for possible severe storms this evening, with the most significant chance occurring between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. on Saturday, August 1, 2026. According to local meteorologists, conditions will start off clear and humid, but thunderstorms are expected to develop as a cold front approaches, moving southward towards the city.

Rainfall in San Antonio is projected at around 40%, but most locations are unlikely to see significant precipitation, with many areas receiving less than half an inch. Isolated spots may experience total rainfall exceeding an inch if a stronger storm passes overhead. Gusty winds and brief street flooding are also potential hazards, particularly in regions that receive heavy rainfall in a short period.

Residents planning to be outdoors this evening are advised to remain cautious and prepared for sudden thunderstorms. The storms are expected to affect the region primarily in the late afternoon to early evening hours, but conditions should allow most evening activities to continue with appropriate precautions.

Following tonight's storms, the weather is predicted to clear on Sunday, with lingering morning showers giving way to blue skies. High temperatures are expected to soar into the upper 90s, although drier air moving in will offer a slightly more bearable feel compared to the previous week's mugginess.

As the extended forecast indicates, the hot and mostly dry weather pattern is set to return, with temperatures continuing to hover near the upper 90s to low 100s throughout the upcoming week. Residents are reminded to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged exposure to heat during peak daytime hours.
