Austin, Texas – Temperatures are holding steady across Central Texas tonight, bringing a rare break from summer extremes with seasonable, rain-free weather and lows in the low to mid 70s. According to the National Weather Service in Austin/San Antonio, skies will stay mostly clear with patchy low clouds forming by early Thursday, accompanied by a light south to southeasterly breeze.
Daytime highs will soar into the upper 90s to low 100s through early next week across Austin, San Antonio, and the Hill Country, pushing the region into another stretch of relentless August heat. Local cities including New Braunfels, Fredericksburg, and Eagle Pass can expect daily highs ranging from 98°F to 103°F through Wednesday, with almost no rain relief.
Communities from San Marcos to Del Rio will see continued dry weather, leaving area lakes, lawns, and agriculture thirsting for moisture. Residents are urged to stay hydrated, limit strenuous activity during peak afternoon hours, and check on neighbors and pets as heat indices rise. No significant precipitation is expected, so fire risk remains elevated in grassland areas.
The dry, hot pattern is likely to last into midweek, with updates expected if conditions change. Stay alert for any new advisories as this heat wave persists.
