**South Texas Braces for Heavy Rain, Potential Flooding Along I-35 Corridor**
**San Antonio, TX – August 31, 2025** – South Texas residents along the I-35 corridor are urged to remain vigilant as developing storms move southward, bringing the potential for heavy rainfall and flooding. KSAT Weather Authority meteorologists Sarah Spivey and Shelby Ebertowski are closely monitoring the situation, reporting that a stalled front is the culprit.
“Storms are developing along a stalled front north of the Hill Country and will continue drifting south toward the I-35 corridor this evening”, Ebertowski reported. “Radar shows activity building, especially near New Braunfels and the northern metro.”
The Edwards Plateau and Western Hill Country are particularly vulnerable, with rainfall totals expected to range from 1 to 3 inches. Isolated areas could see significantly higher amounts, with “bullseyes” of 4 to 5 inches and, in rare cases, up to 8 inches. The strongest storms may also bring wind gusts between 40 and 50 mph.
The Weather Prediction Center (WPC) has placed most of the region under a Slight Risk (level 2 of 4) for excessive rainfall through Monday morning, with a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 4) continuing into Tuesday.
“While flooding is possible in spots, it’s important to note that there will still be some folks that miss out on rain entirely,” Spivey advised.
Residents are encouraged to stay informed and have a way to receive weather alerts. A Flood WATCH indicates the potential for flooding, while a Flood WARNING means flooding is occurring, and immediate action is necessary. Those under a Flood Warning should avoid driving over flooded roads and seek higher ground.
Scattered storms may linger into early Monday, with a 40% chance of rain and cooler temperatures with highs near 90 degrees. While quieter, drier, and hotter weather is expected for most of next week, meteorologists are predicting the return of rain by next weekend.
KSAT Weather Authority will continue to provide live weather coverage as needed, with Spivey and Ebertowski emphasizing the importance of preparedness. “Keep your plans, but have an option ready to duck inside if you happen to get a storm,” Spivey suggested.
