Austin, Texas – Dangerously hot conditions grip much of Central Texas, with scattered thunderstorms bringing localized downpours and gusty winds to the east while the western Hill Country bakes under sunny skies and highs near 105. According to the National Weather Service, isolated to scattered storms will develop through Tuesday, mainly from Austin eastward to Giddings, La Grange, and the Brazos Valley. The immediate threat: high heat indexes, slick roads from sudden showers, and possible lightning-related power outages.
San Antonio, Austin, and surrounding suburbs—including Georgetown, New Braunfels, and Kerrville—will see temperatures in the upper 90s to low 100s, with the risk for storms peaking Monday afternoon into Tuesday. Isolated storms could drop brief heavy rain and create localized flooding, especially in low-lying areas and along major highways like I-35 and US 290. Residents are urged to limit outdoor activity, drink plenty of water, and have a plan for shelter if storms roll in. Those in rural counties from Eagle Pass to La Grange should prepare for rapid weather changes and stay tuned for updated alerts.
Hot, mostly dry weather returns by midweek and will persist into the weekend, with temperatures hovering just below 100 in most cities. Additional advisories are possible if the heat or storm risk escalates.
