San Antonio woke up Tuesday morning, July 7, 2026, to a wall of warmth: mostly cloudy skies, muggy air around 79°F, and a dew point hovering near 74°F. In other words, sticky. The steamy start is not going anywhere fast, with a hot afternoon on tap and highs expected near 94°F. Factor in the humidity and it will feel closer to 100°F for much of the city. South-southeast winds will barely stir at about 0 to 5 mph, and rain chances stay low today.
Afternoon Heat
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures this afternoon should top out near 94°F, with the heat index nudging up toward 100°F. Precipitation odds remain slim under 15%, so do not count on a stray shower to cool things down. No watches or warnings are in effect for Bexar County at the moment.
Health officials and forecasters recommend taking it easy in the late-day peak. If you are working or exercising outside, grab shade where you can, take frequent water breaks, and shift heavy exertion to earlier or later in the day whenever possible.
Stay Cool
If you need a break from the blast-furnace feel, the City of San Antonio keeps a list of cooling sites, including libraries, community centers, and pools. Residents are urged to call 311 or visit the city’s hot-weather page for locations and hours. It is also a good day to check on older neighbors, keep pets out of direct sun, and move strenuous yard work or outdoor projects to the evening once temperatures start to edge down. For locations and detailed guidance, see the City of San Antonio.
Weekend Outlook
Later in the week, humidity is expected to build as Gulf moisture increases, setting the stage for more typical summer thunderstorm chances. By Saturday, odds for scattered showers and storms climb into the 30 to 40% range. The National Weather Service highlights Saturday as the day with the highest thunderstorm potential, along with a slight cooldown in areas that see more widespread activity.
Outdoor plans this weekend may need a Plan B. Keep an eye on radar and updates in case storms start to organize, since watches or advisories could be issued if things turn more active.
