1 week ago | expressnews.com | Anthony Franze

It seems like San Antonio has been breaking records left and right lately. In May, temperatures in the Alamo City tied or broke a daily heat record five times. Fast-forward to this week, and thunderstorms helped us break a rainfall record that had stood since 1940. We still have one more record to break: San Antonio's hottest spring season of all time. Saturday is the last day of meteorological spring, with climatological summer starting June 1.

An extremely active weather pattern this week has brought much-needed rainfall to drought-stricken parts of the Lone Star State, especially across Central and South Texas.

While overall rain chances will decrease as we push into Thursday and Friday, a few scattered thunderstorms are still possible across the region.
