San Antonio is gearing up to face a scorching week ahead, with temperatures consistently flirting with the 100-degree mark. According to the National Weather Service, today's high is expected to hit near 100 degrees with minimal wind to provide relief. As the sun sets, temperatures will marginally drop, hitting a low around 76 degrees tonight.
Thursday and Friday are set to bring more heat, with highs again reaching near the century mark. "Partly sunny and hot, with a high near 100," the NWS forecast states for Thursday, followed by an equally oppressive Friday. The calm wind is projected to become east southeast around 5 mph in the afternoons.
There might be a smidge of reprieve on Saturday, however slight, with a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. But don't be fooled; the day will still be mostly sunny and hot, with a high near 99 degrees. Winds are expected to remain mild, barely stirring the heavy air with a gentle eastward push around 5 mph in the afternoon.
Looking ahead to the rest of the weekend, the stifling theme continues unabated. "Mostly sunny and hot, with a high near 99," Sunday's NWS forecast reads, with barely a breath of southeastern wind to cut through the heat. As night falls, temperatures will relent just enough to edge down to the high 70s.
As the new week dawns on Monday, San Antonians can expect much of the same: blazing sun and arid heat, with the daytime high soaring once again near 100 degrees. Nightfall will provide minimal relief, as the low hovers around 78 degrees. Tuesday's forecast echoes the preceding days—more relentless sun and unvarying heat with a high around 99 degrees.
