San Antonio, TX – A significant heatwave is set to grip South Central Texas this week, bringing potentially dangerous temperatures across the region. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued heat advisories, particularly for areas along and east of the I-35 corridor, where temperatures could reach as high as 103 degrees. San Antonio, one of the largest cities in the region, is expected to see temperatures hovering around 98 to 99 degrees throughout the week.
According to the NWS Austin-San Antonio, the seasonably hot weather is expected to worsen as the week progresses, with the possibility of heat indices pushing even higher, exacerbating the risks of heat-related illnesses.
