San Antonio is bracing for a series of thunderstorms as the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued warnings regarding severe weather conditions expected to unfold in the region. The forecast predicts isolated to scattered showers and storms, particularly tomorrow afternoon, April 24, 2025, with potential risks including damaging winds and large hail.
On April 22, 2025, the NWS urged residents to keep an eye on the sky, especially during the evening hours. The Southern Edwards Plateau, which includes areas like Kerrville and Fredericksburg, is currently under a Level 1 of 5 (marginal) risk for severe weather. This means that while severe storms are not expected to be widespread, the conditions are ripe for isolated instances of severe weather.
According to the NWS, the primary concerns for the evening include gusty winds and large hail. Reports indicate that isolated to scattered thunderstorms are likely to develop across portions of the Southern Edwards Plateau and Hill Country. The forecast highlights a Level 2 of 5 (slight) risk for severe storms in Val Verde County, where the potential for damaging wind gusts and large hail increases significantly.
As warm and humid air blankets the Texas Hill Country, the chances for rain and thunderstorms are expected to rise. Meteorologists have noted that the storms are predicted to form in West Texas and Mexico before moving into the region late Tuesday afternoon. This weather pattern is likely to continue into Wednesday, with rain and storm probabilities ranging from 30% to 60%. High temperatures in the San Antonio area are expected to reach the mid to upper 80s.
Looking ahead, the likelihood of thunderstorms is projected to persist from Wednesday night through Friday, April 25, 2025. This extended period of unsettled weather is attributed to the warm air remaining entrenched over South-Central Texas throughout the workweek.
By the weekend, however, a shift in the weather pattern is expected. An upper-level ridge is set to build over Texas from the south, which should effectively eliminate any rain chances starting Saturday night, April 26, 2025. Consequently, temperatures are anticipated to rise, reaching the upper 80s to lower 90s by Sunday, April 27, 2025, with a slight increase expected on Monday, April 28, 2025.
Residents are reminded to stay tuned to local news outlets like 550 KTSA and FM 107.1 for the latest updates on weather conditions. With the potential for severe weather, it’s advisable for individuals to prepare for possible disruptions, including strong winds and hail, which can cause damage to property and pose risks to safety.
As the storms approach, keeping informed and taking necessary precautions is essential. The NWS encourages everyone to monitor weather alerts and be prepared for rapidly changing conditions, particularly in areas under severe weather advisories.
In summary, San Antonio and surrounding areas should remain vigilant as weather conditions evolve over the next few days. With the forecast indicating a mix of warm weather and stormy conditions, residents are advised to stay alert and prepared for whatever Mother Nature has in store.
