SAN ANTONIO, Texas – Central Texas stays locked in a streak of unseasonably warm, sunny days as the Columbus Day holiday approaches, keeping lawns dry and afternoon errands sweltering. Fall heat will linger through early next week, with highs in the lower 90s each day and little chance for rain across Bexar, Comal, and Guadalupe Counties.
According to the National Weather Service in Austin/San Antonio, winds will remain light but shift from north to southeast through Monday, holding humidity at manageable levels. Motorists along I-35 and I-10 should prepare for warm pavement glare during midday travel, especially for those heading to Hill Country parks or pumpkin patches. Hydrate often and use sunscreen for outdoor events this holiday weekend.
The extended pattern shows no major cold snap yet, but forecasters hint at a gradual cooling trend by late next week as high pressure begins to break down. Nights will turn more comfortable, with lows in the upper 60s, a touch of relief for early risers and those setting up for fall festivals.
While this October stretch remains pleasant, residents are urged to keep water handy, avoid strenuous midday work, and continue watering gardens under the persistent sun. Those planning Monday travel for Columbus Day can expect smooth roads, clear skies, and light winds — ideal conditions for safe drives or outdoor celebrations.
