Large hail, damaging winds expected in Hill Country heading into weekend
San Antonio and parts of the Hill Country have not seen the last of the rain as the threat of storms continue to loom over the area.
The National Weather Service forecasted a chance for severe storms, affecting the southern Edwards Plateau and will extend into the Hill Country for Thursday, March 23. The predicted storms will start Thursday night around midnight in the Edwards Plateau region and work their way east into the Hill Country over night and into Friday morning.
After strong storms hit these areas in South-Central Texas last week with severe thunderstorms, tornado warnings, and large hail, NWS is cautioning residents in the affected locations to brace themselves for strong winds and possible large hail of up to two inches in size. NWS says the primary threat will be located in the Edwards Plateau and as the storm moves into the Hill Country it will weaken, however, strong winds and hail are still possible.
For Wednesday, those in South-Central Texas can expect to see a few slick roads as a result of few patches of rain that will give way to partly sunny skies with highs in the upper 70s and low to mid 80s Wednesday afternoon. Progressing into the rest of the week, parts of the Hill Country and San Antonio could see some drier weather with some cooler mornings and warm afternoons made for spring. Although, there is still a low chance for more storms over the weekend, according to NWS.
