And take a look at this hailstorm in Iowa.
Golf ball sized hail fell
from the sky yesterday.
The area experienced severe
thunderstorms and damaging wind.
Know it all too well, don't we do. Yeah,
yeah. Iowa, of course can get
a lot worse than that too.
They're in Tornado Alley, don't forget.
A lot of people forget.
It does go that far north.
But yeah, here's the good news, Deborah.
We, we're going to be okay for
this evening and tomorrow,
but this heavy rain event is
just getting bigger and bigger.
And even looking at the global models,
it looks like May is going to go down
as a historic wet month For sur,
a lot more rain after Mother's Day weekend.
But First things first,
let's get outside on board.
Chopper five got some sunshine today,
which kicked up temperatures a few degrees,
say the 70s yesterday,
but responding to the sunshine,
you're feeling it a little bit more today.
From Chopper 5 to live Radar
picking up only a few showers dn
to the South and east of the ci.
It's going to be right around C,
down to about Victoria and that
was really all we saw.
I don't think we're going to see anything
develop in San Antonio this eve.
We've only had that slight chance and we're
looking at about the same come tomorrow.
So a nice little sun kissed Skye
on this Wednesday afternoon.
Looking at San Antonio Internatl
and 80 degrees in the city,
82 at Lackland Air Force Base,
81 at Randolph.
We've got 81 New Braunfels
and 85 though at Bandera.
So a lot warmer when you get into the
Hill Country and warmer still wn
you get down to the South and W.
Carrizo Springs is cooking.
They're up to 93 this afternoon,
so a warm and humid evening as
temperatures will stay right ard
80 degrees through probably 8:0.
Mid 70s by 9.
No rain on your Wednesday evening plans,
but the southeast winds are goio
definitely maintain the humidit.
So a mid level upper level lows.
That's why we can't see that big
swirl here on.
Water vapor is out and we're going to
wait another day before this Fr.
Rainmaker moves in starting to dig in.
Its heels is a big upper level
low that sets up camp and starts
to really pour in mid and upper
level moisture from the Pacific.
So we've got plenty of surface moisture
as dew points will remain high.
But now with this low coming in,
we're expecting a lot of rain aa
result of this setup because evy
level of our atmosphere is goino
have plenty of water to work wi.
What we call precipitable water.
Just how much water is in the
atmosphere ready to rain out.
Take a look what this model is going to do.
Few light showers early Thursday
than the afternoon, just like t.
And then here comes Friday.
It starts probably mid morning d
then in the afternoon and nighte
hours is when heavier rain bands
are expected to come in.
We're still expecting a lot of
rain now looking mostly West of
the city for the highest totals.
This will come in right around
Castroville and move West on whs
expected a Level 3 on excessive rainfall.
This is not severe weather.
This is flooding.
This is high rain totals and it
looks again like we're going to
have high totals in San Antonio,
New Braunfels, Seguin,
but the highest of which will be
from Castroville, W to Del Rio,
even S to Eagle Pass and Laredo.
Here's the breakdown.
Speaking of severe weather thre,
we can't rule out hail because t
looks as though Friday could haa
set up with a squall line on Fry
night that could produce some h.
Damaging winds and tornadoes,
very low chance of those,
but large hail will go up
just shy of medium chance.
It's going to be the flooding
that has the highest chance with
this scenario because of just
how much rain we're looking at.
Once we get to Friday, 50% chan.
But Friday night into Saturday 0
on Sunday, Monday's got a 70% chance.
That's three and a half solid days of rain.
We're definitely going to put a
dent in this drought and you're
going to notice that this is
the last day we'll look at this.
As far as the exceptional area,
because we get an update tomorr,
but we'll really see a good
good improvement by next week.
All right,
Seven day forecast takes us to next week,
88 tomorrow, 87 on Friday.
Rain chance tomorrow is only 20,
don't expect it.
Then on Friday,
expect it and prepare for it bee
then it just continues to get wr
as we head into Mother's Day weekend.
Temperatures will be affected 78 on Saturday,
79 on Sunday and still looking a
very good chance of rain Mondayh
slight chances even Tuesday and Wednesday.
Alana.
We're gonna be water logged.
What a change from last year, r?
And about face,
I know,
alright.
