SAN ANTONIO – FRIDAY

Brief pop up downpours are possible through the entire weekend.

While San Antonio will see some rain, the wettest weather is forecast closer to the Gulf Coast.

• Rainfall totals: Localized areas could receive 1 to 2 inches, mainly near the coast

• Flooding: Unlikely, since showers should be progressive and not stall over any one location
