According to the National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio office, temperatures will range from the upper 80s in Cuero to 99°F in Del Rio and Eagle Pass today, while brief downpours and lightning could affect travel in Gonzales, La Grange, and Cuero. Rain chances remain modest—40% at most—but gusty winds up to 25 mph could accompany isolated storms. Most other cities, including San Antonio and Austin, have a 15–20% rain chance through Tuesday night.
