Austin, Texas – Central Texas will stay locked in a stretch of unseasonably warm weather this week, with temperatures climbing into the low to mid-90s across most of the region. San Antonio, Austin, and surrounding cities are expected to top out near 95 degrees through Friday, keeping conditions several degrees above normal for mid-September.
According to the National Weather Service in Austin/San Antonio, skies will stay partly cloudy today, with only isolated showers along the Coastal Plains. The Hill Country, including Fredericksburg and Kerrville, will see slightly cooler readings in the upper 80s to near 90, but still warmer than average.
Drivers and outdoor workers should prepare for hot afternoons, especially in urban centers like San Marcos, New Braunfels, and Gonzales, where highs will hold in the mid-90s. Residents near Cuero and Carrizo Springs may also see the mercury approach 95 degrees. Heat safety remains important despite the season, with hydration and limited outdoor activity during peak afternoon hours advised.
Rain chances will stay minimal until late week, when scattered thunderstorms may return Friday into the weekend. The potential for relief from the persistent warmth hinges on those storm chances developing across Central and South Texas.
