San Antonio, brace yourselves for a sweltering week ahead. According to the National Weather Service, today's forecast indicates "Sunny and hot, with a high near 101. Heat index values as high as 105. East wind 5 to 10 mph."
The evening offers little respite, with tonight's weather expected to be mostly clear, with a low around 75. It looks like this pattern of intense heat will persist into the weekend, with Friday and Saturday both promising clear skies and highs breaking the 100-degree mark. For those looking for a breeze, gusts may reach up to 20 mph on Saturday night.
Looking forward to the latter part of the weekend, Sunday keeps the momentum of scorching weather, once again approaching the 100-degree threshold. Partly cloudy skies Sunday night do little to combat the persistent southeastern winds that have characterized the week's earlier forecasts. It's recommended that those with outdoor plans carry ample water and seek shade whenever possible.
The new week may offer a hint of change with Monday sporting "A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly sunny, with a high near 95. East wind 5 to 10 mph." The evenings ahead continue to promise little cooling down with lows remaining consistently in the mid-70s, as per the National Weather Service.
As we edge closer to mid-week, temperatures hover in the mid to high 90s. The weather service foresees sunny skies for Tuesday, with a continuation of partly cloudy nights. By Wednesday, San Antonio can expect more sun with a high near 97, indicating that the trend of intense heat ain't going anywhere soon. Residents should continue to exercise caution, stay hydrated, and follow heat safety guidelines throughout this hot Texan summer spell.
