Monday at 7 A.M.: The Rain Has Turned Heavy in San Antonio — Code 65 Downpours, 58.6 Degrees, the Day Still at 95 Percent
The station's live feed at 7 a.m. scores San Antonio's rain at code 65 — heavy rain, a step up from the morning's code 63 — at 58.6 degrees, and Monday's chance holds at 95 percent under the flood watch. Tuesday's chance falls to 16 percent, Wednesday turns dry at 75.9, and Friday has been revised warmer and dry.
San Antonio's Monday rain got heavier as the commute built. The station's live weather feed at 7 a.m. puts the city at 58.6 degrees in heavy rain — weather code 65, up from the code 61 and code 63 readings the desk filed overnight and at 5 a.m. — feeling like 59, with Monday's precipitation chance at 95 percent and the day's range narrowed to 63.1 over 58.2. The flood watch the desk has carried all morning still frames the day: this is a rain day from the morning drive through the evening, and low-water crossings on the city's west and northwest sides remain the hazard to respect.
The numbers moved in degree, not in kind, since the 5 a.m. file (SQ-20261109-015). Monday's chance eased a point, 96 to 95 percent, while the high ticked up to 63.1 from 62.8 and the low dropped to 58.2 from 59.2 — the signature of a system whose rain is now falling at full strength rather than still arriving. Nothing in the feed backs off the morning's call: heavy at times, steady all day, with the Hill Country totals from the morning's forecast file still the regional high-water mark.
The exit is unchanged and now close. Tuesday scores code 61 with a 16 percent chance, a high of 67.2 and a low of 60.3 — the last of the rain. Wednesday turns dry and warm: code 3, 75.9 over 61.3, 14 percent. Thursday holds dry at 75.6 over 59 with a 2 percent chance, and Friday has been revised warmer and drier than the morning file had it — code 3, 76.7 over 58.9, no chance of rain. Saturday stays dry at 76 over 57.3 (15 percent) before Sunday brings the next system: code 95 thunderstorms, 67 over 63.1, 38 percent. The Weather Desk's next scheduled file is the 17:00 evening update; the desk holds a live watch through the flood-watch morning.
