Thursday's air temp tops out around 96°, but between the leftover moisture from recent rain, saturated soil, and plants basically sweating it out (yes, that's a thing — it's called evapotranspiration, the humidity is sending heat index values up to 110-111° for several hours Thursday afternoon. An Excessive Heat Warning and Heat Advisory are in effect, and this is more than just another hot day — your body has to work way harder to cool off when the air is this muggy. Stay inside during peak afternoon hours, hydrate, and check on your neighbors. Check for updates on the KSAT Weather Authority App #ExcessiveHeat #HeatWarning #SanAntonioWeather #StayCool #HeatIndex
