When will hail threaten San Antonio Saturday? Here’s a timeline A significant weather shift is expected to impact San Antonio as a cold front moves into the region on Saturday, bringing the potential for thunderstorms and large hail. The National Weather Service has issued a level 2 out of 5 risk for severe weather, indicating that a few thunderstorms could produce damaging winds and hail. The forecast highlights a timeline of conditions that residents should monitor closely. The day begins with a cloudy, mild, and muggy morning, with temperatures near 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Isolated drizzle may occur, but significant rainfall is not anticipated. By midday, the cold front will begin to push through the Hill Country, bringing scattered showers and thunderstorms to areas like Fredericksburg, Kerrville, and Johnson City. San Antonio temperatures are projected to rise to near 80 degrees during this period. The most critical weather activity is expected in the late afternoon and evening. As the cold front intensifies, the likelihood of strong to severe storms increases, with large hail and damaging wind gusts possible. However, the storms are predicted to be scattered, meaning that rainfall will come in short bursts rather than continuous downpours. Long stretches of dry weather will be interspersed with these intense but brief precipitation events. As the night progresses, atmospheric moisture will continue to move into the region, maintaining scattered showers and storms. The severe weather threat will diminish as a cooler, more stable air mass moves in behind the cold front. By Sunday, scattered showers and weaker thunderstorms are expected to persist, with a 50-60% chance of rain in San Antonio.#national_weather_service #san_antonio #fredericksburg #kerrville #johnson_city
Weight-by-weight preview of Big Ten wrestling championships The Big Ten Championships remain one of the most challenging conference titles to secure, with the 2026 event continuing this tradition. The conference fields the top-ranked wrestler at nine of the 10 weight classes and boasts depth across all divisions. Pre-seeds for the tournament have been released, offering insight into potential matchups and paths to the championship. At 165 pounds, Penn State’s Luke Lilledahl holds the No. 1 pre-seed after an undefeated 8-0 conference season, including a fall and four technical falls. Illinois’ Spencer Moore is the No. 2 pre-seed with a 7-0 record, while Nic Bouzakis, ranked second nationally, is seeded third. Bouzakis’ one loss to Lilledahl could position him to jump a spot in the bracket, potentially earning a first-round bye. Lilledahl’s path to a second consecutive title may begin with a matchup against Iowa’s Dean Peterson, who holds a 4-1 career edge over the Nittany Lion. In the semifinals, Lilledahl could face either Indiana’s Jacob Moran or Minnesota’s Jore Volk, both ranked among the top 15. A potential championship clash against Bouzakis would mark a rematch of Lilledahl’s sudden-victory win earlier this season. Illinois’ Lucas Byrd and Penn State’s Marcus Blaze both went undefeated in the regular season, but Byrd secured the No. 2 pre-seed, while Blaze earned the No. 3 spot. Byrd’s path includes a potential semifinal showdown with No. 9 Drake Ayala of Iowa, who finished as a runner-up in both the Big Ten and NCAA tournaments last year. Wisconsin’s Zan Fugitt, a 2025 All-American, is seeded fourth, two spots ahead of Nebraska’s Jacob Van Dee. At 141 pounds, Ohio State’s Jesse Mendez holds the No. 1 pre-seed after an undefeated season and a 20-2 record.#penn_state #big_ten_championships #illinois #nebraska #iowa

Summerlike Highs Continue With Little Rain in Forecast as Extreme Drought Persists Jacksonville, Fla. – The weather this weekend promises to be ideal for a wide range of activities, from outdoor running events to home projects and beach outings. Despite the potential for late afternoon showers, the overall forecast remains favorable, with temperatures expected to stay comfortably warm. The morning will begin with a light fog in some areas, though this is not as widespread as in recent days. A sea breeze will gradually move inland, pushing any shower activity toward the I-75 corridor later in the afternoon. While brief downpours and thunderstorms cannot be ruled out, the overall pattern suggests minimal rainfall. Gainesville has already set a new record for high temperatures, breaking the previous mark of 87 degrees set in 1977 with a reading of 88 degrees on Friday. Today, the high is projected to reach 87 degrees, matching the 2023 record. In southeast Georgia and northeast Florida, temperatures are expected to climb into the upper 80s, while coastal areas will remain in the mid-70s. Skies will be mostly clear or partly cloudy throughout the day. As the sun sets, sea fog is anticipated to develop along the coast, accompanied by light winds and temperatures in the low 60s. Residents are reminded to adjust their clocks forward on Sunday morning as daylight savings time begins. The Gate River Run, a major local event, is also in full swing, with runners and spectators preparing for the race. The event’s timing aligns with the current weather conditions, making it an ideal opportunity for participants to train or compete. Meanwhile, the region continues to face extreme drought conditions, with little rain expected to ease the situation.#gate_river_run #jacksonville_fl #gainesville_fl #oceanway_neighborhood #florida

Expect Mostly Dry Weekend as Temperatures Reach 80s Across South Florida The NEXT Weather Team is forecasting an above-normal, dry weekend across South Florida, with temperatures expected to rise into the low 80s. This marks a departure from the typical seasonal pattern, as the region experiences warmer-than-average conditions. Fort Lauderdale set a record-high minimum temperature on Friday, setting the stage for a weekend that will see temperatures remain elevated. While the overall outlook is dry, there is a very low probability of isolated showers affecting Broward and Miami-Dade counties. These pop-up rain chances are expected to be minimal and scattered, with the best opportunity for precipitation returning toward the end of next week. Meteorologists note that the current atmospheric conditions favor stability, reducing the likelihood of widespread rainfall. Residents are encouraged to make the most of the extended daylight hours, as the weekend will offer a full 24-hour stretch on Saturday. However, Sunday will be slightly shorter, with the transition to daylight saving time occurring at 2 a.m. on Sunday. Clocks will need to be set forward by one hour before bedtime, marking the official start of the longer days. The weather forecast highlights the seasonal shift toward warmer temperatures, with the region continuing to experience above-average heat. While the dry conditions are expected to persist, the low chance of rain means that outdoor activities are likely to remain favorable. The NEXT Weather Team will continue to monitor the situation, providing updates as the week progresses.#next_weather_team #south_florida #fort_lauderdale #broward_county #miami_dade_county
Bayer Leverkusens Trainer Kasper Hjulmand hat betont, dass sich sein Team nicht von den bevorstehenden Champions-League-K.o.-Spielen gegen den FC Arsenal ablenken lassen wird. Der 53-jährige Däne erklärte, dass die Bundesliga in dieser Phase der Saison das oberste Ziel sei. Vor dem Auswärtsspiel am Samstag gegen den SC Freiburg (15.30 Uhr/Sky) unterstrich Hjulmand, dass der Fokus vollständig auf dem Bundesliga-Spiel liege. Die Leverkusener haben in der Tabelle drei Punkte Rückstand auf die Champions-League-Plätze, und sie wollen den Anschluss nicht verlieren. Die drei größten Spiele der nächsten Wochen folgen nach dem Freiburg-Auswärtsspiel: am Mittwoch das Achtelfinal-Hinspiel in der Champions League gegen Arsenal, am Samstag darauf der Bundesliga-Knaller gegen den FC Bayern und am übernächsten Dienstag das Rückspiel gegen Arsenal in London. Hjulmand betonte, dass der Sieg gegen Freiburg entscheidend sei, um den Kurs der Saison zu halten. Ein weiteres Problem für Leverkusen ist das Personalmanagement. Beim Spiel in Freiburg fehlen sechs verletzte Spieler: Mark Flekken, Nathan Tella, Eliesse Ben Seghir, Loic Badé, Lucas Vazquez und Arthur. Ob der angeschlagene Torjäger Patrik Schick mitspielen kann, bleibt unklar. Potenziell könnte Christian Kofane, der erst 19 Jahre alt ist, als Ersatz fungieren. Der junge Stürmer erzielte bereits am Mittwoch beim 1:0-Sieg in Hamburg das goldene Tor. Zusätzlich drohen drei Leverkusener Spielern, die bereits jeweils vier gelbe Karten in der Bundesliga erhalten haben, eine Sperre für das nächste Bundesligaspiel gegen Bayern. Hjulmand betonte jedoch, dass sich niemand abschauen solle. „Das wichtigste Spiel ist jetzt Freiburg“, sagte er und unterstrich: „Wir wollen diesen Sieg.#fc_bayern #sc_freiburg #bayer_leverkusen #kasper_hjulmand #fc_arsenal

Bayer 04 Leverkusen Faces Challenge Against Home-Strong Freiburg Bayer 04 Leverkusen faces a crucial test as they prepare to confront SC Freiburg, a team known for its strong home performances. Following a recent defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt, Freiburg now trails Bayer 04 by two positions and ten points in the Bundesliga table. While their away record has been inconsistent, the Freiburg squad under coach Julian Schuster has shown remarkable resilience at home, securing 24 of their 33 points in the Europa-Park Stadion. Leverkusen’s strategy to exploit Freiburg’s vulnerabilities may hinge on their ability to capitalize on the Breisgauer’s susceptibility to header goals. With key defenders like Edmond Tapsoba and Jarell Quansah in their lineup, Leverkusen could target Freiburg’s defensive weaknesses, particularly given the Freiburg goalkeeper Janis Blaswich’s impressive 85% save rate this season. The match analysis highlights Freiburg’s home dominance, including a ten-game unbeaten streak at the Europa-Park Stadion. Their ability to turn deficits into victories, as seen in a dramatic 2:0 comeback against Leverkusen in the 2024/25 season, underscores their fighting spirit. Freiburg’s defensive line, anchored by experienced players like Matthias Ginter and Christian Günter, has been a key factor in their home success, earning them 15 points after setbacks—second-best in the league. Offensively, Igor Matanovic and Vincenzo Grifo, each scoring six goals, have been instrumental in keeping Freiburg in multiple competitions. Leverkusen’s challenge will be to neutralize these strengths while leveraging their own attacking threats. Freiburg’s defensive vulnerabilities, particularly their 10 header goals conceded this season, present a clear opportunity for Leverkusen.#sc_freiburg #bayer_04_leverkusen #julian_schuster #europa_park_stadion #janis_blaswich
