Isolated storms to pop up late Monday afternoon | KENS 5 Weather Impact Forecast

Added: 2026-05-25

[00:00:01]Well, it felt a little bit more like summer out there today, David. I know it's You were saying earlier meteorological summer, not the calendar summer yet. When does it summer officially start?

[00:00:13]>> Uh well, of course, meteorological summer starts June 1st. If I'm going to be honest, astronomical summer, I believe, starts middle to late June. I can't tell you the exact date. I'll have to look it up, but middle to late June.

[00:00:25]And in my opinion, it doesn't make sense because for me, of course, you know, when I went to school, of course, summer break is late May early June. So, of course, June to me, the entire month of June is summer. So, to me, it'll stay like that.

[00:00:40]Now, we had a very summer-like pattern.

[00:00:42]It was hot and it was dry for most, but we had pop-up storms, especially for the Hill Country, and they started to dissipate after sunset. We still have some residual activity, but for tomorrow, I expect a very similar setup. Looking at the live cam of downtown San Antonio, looking very nice with downtown San Antonio glistening in the background. And the current temperature is, if we can get this remote to work, it is 77° it feels like 79°, and here's everything you need to know.

[00:01:16]Isolated storms are possible tomorrow.

[00:01:18]We'll have a very similar setup, very summertime setup, where we'll have heat and humidity, and that'll cause for isolated storms to pop up. It but it looks like the chances will be higher for the Hill Country and portions of the I-35 corridor. But if you want rain, we'll get a widespread shot of rain and storms Tuesday night and Wednesday morning due to an incoming cold front. And after this cold front sweeps through our area, we'll have an active pattern for the rest of the workweek. Looking at the radar, we still have some residual showers. The storm has formed in the late afternoon, moved southward into Kerr County and Bandera County, and then eventually Medina County at this point, but it's now light rain just north of Hondo. We also had a pop of storm just towards the northwest of Rocksprings. It has officially choked itself out and we're only seeing some slight sprinkles in Val Verde County. Temperatures into the lower 80s down towards the south, upper 70s in San Antonio, and then upper 60s in Kerrville in the Hill Country because of the rain cooled atmosphere.

[00:02:17]So, tomorrow, a very similar setup. Most people are going to be dry and mostly sunny. However, we could see pop up storms in the late afternoon, early evening due to the heat of the day, but it looks like it will be uh reserved for the Hill Country and portions of the I-35 corridor. So, we don't have a risk for severe weather tomorrow, but we do have a risk for severe weather for Tuesday because of that cold front moving through our area.

[00:02:40]So, we have a level two out of five risk for severe weather for Val Verde County, portions of Edwards County, Kinney County, Maverick County, and Zavala County. And then a level one for places such as Uvalde, Hondo, Cotulla, Kerrville, and for Rocksprings. I expect with future updates from the Storm Prediction Center for the severe weather outlooks to expand farther towards the east, and I expect San Antonio to be included within the severe weather outlook shortly. So, let's check out the models. Tomorrow, dry throughout much of the day, but once we get into the afternoon, temperatures into the upper 80s, lower 90s, we'll start to see storms isolated in nature pop up uh due to the heat of the day. It looks like the chances will be higher farther north in the Hill Country and portions of the I-35 corridor. And then for Tuesday, most of the day is going to be dry, but once we get into 4:00 to 5:00, here are the storms out towards the west.

[00:03:29]This is the cold front moving through Val Verde County and Edwards County. And then by the late night, so by 11:00 to midnight, the storms will start to organize and expand and move towards the east into the San Antonio area. By the early morning hours on Wednesday, it will go into the coastal bend area in our eastern counties, and then eventually it'll meander out towards east towards Houston by the late morning, and we'll be dry throughout much of Wednesday. So, we'll have a weather impact alert starting on Tuesday, specifically Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Much of the activity on Wednesday will be into the morning.

[00:04:05]And then Thursday and Friday we'll have increased rain chances. Our severe weather chances are generally low for both of those days, but we could see scattered showers and storms throughout that time. So, that's why the weather impact alert is until next Friday. So, the impact localized flooding, heavy rain, gusty winds, and potential large hail with these storms on Tuesday night, Wednesday morning. The need stay weather aware. And if we look at the rainfall potential, this is until Wednesday morning, and it shows potentially 2 and 1/2 inches to 3 inches up north towards the I-35 corridor. And we still very much need the rain. It is much appreciated, especially with our drought. Here's a look at the 14-day forecast. No weather impact alert tomorrow. Think of tomorrow as the weather that we experienced today.

[00:04:51]Pop-up storms what it looked like will be mainly towards the north. So, much of South Central Texas will be dry and mostly sunny. Tuesday is when a front will move through our area Tuesday night, and then move through San Antonio and the eastern counties Wednesday morning. Then we'll have increased rain chances for Thursday and for Friday.

[00:05:08]Then we'll have a calmer weekend ahead.
