Rain is in the San Antonio forecast for five of the next six days, according to the National Weather Service, but with the ground already saturated from steady rains this year it would only take an overnight downpour to cause flash flooding.

Similar conditions led to the deadly May 2013 flood, so now is a good time to prepare for dangerous high water hazards in your neighborhood.

If you are new to the area or just forgot what can happen to San Antonio when it is hit with several inches of rain, then take a look at the San Antonio River Authority's flood risk map, which shows the floodplains of Bexar County watersheds.
