Strong winds, rain and possible storms coming Wednesday to San Antonio. Here's what to expect

Rain and thunderstorms could roll through San Antonio Wednesday morning but windy conditions will be the biggest concern.

SAN ANTONIO — After days of Red Flag Warnings and fires burning near San Antonio a line of showers and storm activity will push through Texas overnight Tuesday to Wednesday morning. 

Rain and possible thunderstorms could roll through San Antonio Wednesday morning but windy conditions will be the biggest concern. This will cause a Red Flag Warning to go into effect from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. Wednesday as this system brings more dry, breezy conditions. 

Here's what you can expect the next 12 hours:

Plenty of moisture will be available ahead of the front but the chance for strong storms to develop is low for San Antonio. Severe weather is more likely to stay north of San Antonio in the Hill Country but an isolated storm can't be ruled out. Any isolated storms that develop could produce gusty winds and small hail.

 Winds will continue to be breezy all day Wednesday so bring any outdoor decorations that could be blown away inside. These gusty winds could lead to critical fire weather conditions on Wednesday. 

San Antonio is under a Wind Advisory now until 4 a.m. Wednesday and a Red Flag Warning beginning Wednesday at 10 a.m. until 8 p.m.
