FORECAST
While all eyes are on an early season front, know that the next two days will be scorchers.
TRIPLE DIGITS
Highs are expected to climb just above 100°F, and with humidity in the mix, it could feel more like 105° across the area. It’ll be a scorcher, so make sure you’re staying cool, drinking plenty of water, and limiting time outside during peak afternoon hours.
EARLY SEASON FRONT UPDATE
Trying to nail down the exact timing of an early season front is always tough. They can stall and their movements are often driven by thunderstorm activity.
With that in mind, expect the front to stall at our doorstep Saturday afternoon. This should help kick off some isolated storms, mainly along and north of I-10. Gusty winds and brief, heavy rain would be possible late in the day. Saturday will still be hot, with highs in the mid to upper-90s.
The front should push through overnight into Sunday morning, allowing it to move through San Antonio. Don’t expect a dramatic cool-down. It will, however, help to stir up a few more showers and storms on Thursday. Temps likely still make the low-90s.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected from Friday through Monday, with the heaviest rain likely Sunday into early Monday. While widespread flooding isn’t expected, isolated flash flooding is possible, especially in areas that will see repeated downpours. Rainfall totals of at least 1 inch are most likely in portions of the Hill Country and Southern Edwards Plateau.
DRIER NEXT WEEK
By Tuesday and Wednesday, drier conditions take over and temperatures return to the mid-90s.
