Austin, Texas – Seasonably hot weather continues across Central Texas as highs climb toward 102 degrees in Austin and San Antonio, bringing sweltering afternoons and limited relief for those working or traveling outside. Drivers and residents east of I-35 may see some brief showers late this weekend, but most of the region remains dry and sunny through the start of next week.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures will hover within a few degrees of average for early August, with many cities including New Braunfels, San Marcos, and Fredericksburg seeing highs in the upper 90s to near 100. Lows at night offer little relief, staying in the upper 70s. Slight rain chances—generally 10-20%—focus on the I-35 corridor and areas to the east, with drier conditions for the Hill Country and points west.
Roads may become slick during isolated showers, but widespread impacts are unlikely. Still, it’s a good idea to avoid strenuous outdoor activities during peak afternoon heat, stay hydrated, and keep pets indoors. Power grids and utilities are expected to handle the demand, but energy conservation remains smart as heat lingers through at least early next week.
Scattered showers could return to the rest of the region by midweek, and updates will be issued if rain chances or heat advisories increase.
