FORECAST
DOG DAYS OF SUMMER UNDERWAY
Now through mid-August, San Antonio averages it highest daytime temperatures. Right on cue, we’ll experience our hottest stretch so far this year. Take your pick: 98°, 99°, or 100° -- that’s what you can expect for a daytime high through the foreseeable future. Heat index values will reach 100-105° for a few hours each afternoon.
SATURDAY EVENING STORMS
The one small window of change arrives for a few hours Saturday evening (roughly 5-10pm). A weak front or outflow boundary will move south into the area, touching off a few showers or storms. We expect most of this activity to be non-severe, but a strong storm or two can’t be ruled out. The rain chance is 30%.
EL NINO UPDATE
El Nino is now in fully underway. In fact, the Climate Prediction Center is calling for a 97% chance of El Nino persisting into early 2027. What does that mean for us? Not much, for now. We will see a fairly quiet Atlantic hurricane season, but the bigger impacts likely arrive this Fall and Winter. While not a guarantee, it often means more impactful weather systems for South Texas.
