Rain expected through Monday

A front moving across Central Texas will bring showers to San Antonio Sunday afternoon and steady, light rain that's expected to last from Sunday evening until late Monday morning, according to the National Weather Service.

Forecaster Pat McDonald said isolated sprinkles are expected around 3 p.m. Sunday, but just before midnight, temperatures will drop and rain will be more widespread.

“I hope we get a lot, but we're thinking we'll get about a half-inch in San Antonio,” McDonald said. “It'll be a continuous light rain for about 12 to 14 hours.”

While Sunday will be cloudy with a high of 65 and a low at night of 49, Monday will be rainy and cold, with a high in the low 50s, McDonald said. By Monday evening, the precipitation should cease.

“We're going to have some cold air move in with the rain,” McDonald said. “It's going to be a good day to stay inside on Monday and have some soup, just stay warm.”

Tuesday will be colder, he said, with a high in the 60s and a low of 38. Wednesday is forecasted to be the only sunny day of the week, McDonald said, with a high in the 70s and a low of 45, but another cold front will cause clouds to return on Thursday and remain through the weekend.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday should be chilly, with highs in the 50s and lows in the 20s and 30s. Chances of rain during that front are slim, McDonald said.
