San Antonio residents can anticipate a sizzling week ahead, with temperatures consistently flirting with the high 90s. As of early this morning, the city woke to a modest 75°F and a dewpoint of 70°F, setting the stage for what will be a series of unmistakably warm days, according to the latest update from the National Weather Service.
For those planning their day around the weather, "Sunny, with a high near 97. Heat index values as high as 101," is what the forecast holds, while a calm wind will become southeast around 5 mph in the afternoon. Tuesday isn't expected to bring much relief, seemingly content in repeating today's scorching pattern, as San Antonians look to a high again near 97, and heat indexes creeping slightly higher to 102, as reported by NWS.
The consistent heat wave stretches on through Friday, with temperatures holding steady and the sun reigning supreme in an almost entirely clear sky. Evenings will offer a slight respite, with temperatures dipping into the mid-70s. Southeast winds, calm initially, are predicted to pick up a bit as nighttime approaches, with Wednesday night particularly experiencing gusts as high as 20 mph.
While the weekend continues the hot streak with highs in the mid-90s, Sunday introduces a chance of variety with "a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms," breaking the monotony of persistent clear skies. With an expected high near 94, residents may welcome this potential shift in weather, albeit a slight one, as mentioned by NWS.
