Flooded low lying areas in San Antonio could pose a danger for commuters this week. Keep an eye out for flooded roads here.
More rain is in the forecast for the city every day through the weekend. The chance of rainfall is described as moderate to strong during that period.
A weak cold front helped trigger the showers this week. Rains will continue due to a low and moist air mass over the region. Daytime heating will add to the rain effect each day. Forecasters said another two inches is possible for the area between Wednesday and Monday.
The heaviest rains will be along and east of I-35, the NWS reported.
The rain and clouds are also giving the city some mid-summer heat relief with highs in the 80s and sunrise temperatures in the 70s.
