Austin, TX – South-Central Texas residents should prepare for rising temperatures this week as the region enters another stretch of warm, dry weather. Starting Thursday, the National Weather Service (NWS) predicts daytime highs nearing 90°F, with little to no rain expected. While isolated showers may develop east of I-35, most areas will remain dry through the weekend.
According to the NWS, sunny skies and minimal cloud cover will persist through Monday, with temperatures ranging from 86°F to 90°F. Residents planning outdoor activities or road trips along US-290 or I-10 should take precautions to avoid heat exhaustion. Officials recommend limiting outdoor exposure during peak afternoon hours and staying hydrated throughout the day.
Though heat risks remain moderate, the NWS advises keeping an eye on potential heat advisories as temperatures could surge past 90°F in some areas. Drivers should also be prepared for possible delays due to heat-related construction along major routes like I-35.
By early next week, dry conditions will continue, providing little relief from the heat. Be sure to check weather updates regularly, especially if you plan to travel or participate in outdoor events this weekend.
