A tropical depression formed briefly along the Pacific Coast of Mexico in the Gulf of California. But by early Thursday, the depression dissipated on the mountains of the coast. Nonetheless, deep tropical moisture is moving towards Texas and is already bringing showers today.
That high and mid-level Pacific moisture is pushing in from the west. Embedded disturbances aloft have promoted scattered showers and a few thunderstorms early Thursday across the San Antonio area. Expect scattered showers and a few thunderstorms across South Central Texas through the afternoon and evening.

Uncertainty comes into play as a weak cold front sags into north Texas late Saturday. That boundary will serve to focus heavier rains along its length. Should it move closer to us, we might see heavier rains than we expect right now.
It has already been one of the wettest Septembers in San Antonio history; more than 1.4 inches in the next few days will put 2018 as the number one wettest September in recorded history.
Temperatures will stay near seasonal averages with lows in the 70s and highs upper 80s to near 90.
The Autumnal Equinox occurs Saturday, the first day of Fall. See the details in the Seven Day Forecast.
