San Antonio Prepares for Rainy Commute as Storms Approach

San Antonio Braces for Rainy Monday Commute!

Hey there, San Antonio! If you’re heading out for your Monday morning commute, you might want to grab that umbrella. A cold front is rolling through our great state, and it’s bringing with it some wet weather. Hold on tight because it’s about to get a little stormy!

Storms Sweeping Through the Hill Country

Early this morning, around 5:25 a.m., the National Weather Service (NWS) reported a line of storms making its way into the beautiful Hill Country. For those of you in Hondo and Boerne, you can expect those storms to hit your area by about 8 a.m. So, don’t be caught off guard!

Forecasters are predicting that a quick half inch of rain could fall during this brief moment of stormy weather. If you’re traveling along the I-35 Corridor, plan for some impacts during the hours of 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.. Our roads may get slippery, so be sure to drive carefully!

Power Outages? Keep Your Eyes Open!

Now, while you’re busy dodging raindrops, keep in mind that CPS Energy is also keeping a close watch on the weather conditions. The storm could whip up some strong winds, jingling tree limbs and power lines. This means we might see some scattered outages here and there.

The team at CPS Energy has got our back, promising that their crews are on standby to respond quickly to any outages that might pop up. They’ve advised us to be patient, as it could be a bit dangerous out there, both for drivers and for their crews working to restore power. Stay safe, everyone!

Sunny Skies Ahead!

Now, here’s a silver lining in our rainy Monday forecast: The storms aren’t going to last all day! According to the forecasters, skies should clear up nicely by mid-afternoon, bringing some glorious sunshine back into the mix. So, hang in there, sunshine lovers—the brightest days are just ahead!

What’s Coming Later This Week?

But wait, there’s more! While today’s cold front won’t bring a massive change in temperatures, a more powerful front is set to arrive on Tuesday night. Get ready for a noticeable drop in temperatures, which could stick around until Friday morning. It’s about to get chilly, folks!

But don’t despair! As the week winds down, expect warmer weather to return just in time for the weekend. So, if you have any outdoor plans, fear not! Sunshine and mild temps are likely to be waiting for you!

Think You’re Ready?

So, San Antonio, whether you’re heading to work, school, or just out for a morning coffee, be prepared for a wet start to your week. Remember to keep that umbrella handy, drive cautiously, and maybe even enjoy the cozy feeling that a little rain can bring. Whether you’re splashing through puddles or enjoying the fresh smell of rain-soaked earth, it’s a great day to be in San Antonio!
