What happened

The episode as NWS EWX wrote it up.

An upper-level low moved across Texas where a warm, moist airmass was in place. This disturbance generated thunderstorms. Some of these storms produced locally heavy rain that led to flash flooding.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Austin/San Antonio, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 5, 4:59 AM CST, 1 minute earlier. Its key messages:

  • Locally heavy rainfall possible early this morning across the Rio Grande plains and southern Edwards Plateau. Scattered showers and storms elsewhere, especially during the afternoon hours.
  • Rain chances continue Saturday but may be impacted by what occurs Friday.
  • Warmer temperatures early next week, with some low rain chances mainly along and east of I-35.

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 126 AM CDT Fri Jun 5 2026

Late evening satellite and lightning data shows convection
developing over the higher terrain of Mexico well west of the Rio
Grande. Incoming hi-res models suggest some of this activity will
continue to develop and eventually move into the Rio Grande plains
and southern Edwards Plateau early this morning. Given plenty of
atmospheric moisture, as evidenced by the 1.82" precipitable water
value on the 05/00Z sounding at Del Rio, locally heavy rainfall will
be a concern. While we have not seen a great deal of consistency
among the models regarding the evolution of convection, WPC has
rightfully maintained a Marginal Risk (Level 1 of 4) for excessive
rainfall along the Rio Grande through the early morning hours. Any
outflow boundaries from the morning convection in conjunction with
the arrival of several disturbances and daytime heating should
generate scattered convection farther east across the remainder of
south central Texas this afternoon and early evening. Again, with
plenty of moisture and fairly slow storm movement, a few spots may
pick up some locally heavy rainfall.

The active southwest flow aloft remains intact tonight and while we
could see some additional chances for showers and storm, suspect the
NBM guidance could be a little high on rain chances, especially
after Midnight.

Rain chances on Saturday will likely hinge on what takes place on
Friday and Friday night. Southwest flow aloft remains firmly in
place, but with an upper low over the Permian Basin and south plains
region, most of the more organized lift is expected to largely
remain to our north. The exception could be across portions of the
southern Edwards Plateau where models indicate the upper trough axis
will move through during the peak heating hours.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday night through Thursday)
Issued at 126 AM CDT Fri Jun 5 2026

A drying trend is still anticipated for Sunday, with fairly low
chances for rain confined to areas along and east of I-35/I-37. Some
clearing of clouds is anticipated along the Rio Grande into portions
of the Hill Country with partly to mostly cloudy skies elsewhere. We
should start to see temperatures warm on Sunday, but are expected to
remain near or perhaps just below climatological normals.

The subtropical high will build over Texas through the remainder of
the forecast period. This will lead to a mostly dry forecast along
with a slow warming trend. We will need to monitor for some
afternoon showers and storms developing along the sea breeze, but
any rain chances will remain low. Highs will trend upward with 90s
for most locations along with overnight lows in the 70s.

(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 550 AM CDT Fri Jun 5 2026

Isolated thunderstorms are moving through San Antonio. This will
continue for another hour or so. Outside of storms ceilings will
be MVFR until late morning. Showers and thunderstorms will develop
again this afternoon and evening. Late tonight low ceilings will
develop again. LIFR is likely in Austin and San Antonio.
