San Antonio, TX – A significant heatwave continues to grip the region this week, with above-average temperatures forecast through Sunday. Residents of South-Central Texas can expect highs in the low 90s starting Wednesday, accompanied by sunny skies and dry conditions. As the region enters late October, the unseasonably warm weather offers no immediate relief, making heat precautions crucial.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) Austin/San Antonio, minimal rain is expected for the next five days. Temperatures will remain well above seasonal norms, with highs between 88°F and 92°F across the area. Lows at night are forecast to hover in the mid-to-high 60s, maintaining mild overnight conditions. For those traveling on I-35 between Austin and San Antonio, be prepared for elevated heat risks, particularly during afternoon peak traffic hours.
Wednesday will see mostly sunny skies after some patchy fog dissipates in the early morning, with a high near 89°F. The heat will persist throughout the week, with temperatures on Thursday and Friday expected to reach 90°F or higher. Drivers and outdoor workers are urged to stay hydrated and take regular breaks as heat levels stay elevated.
The upcoming weekend offers little change in the forecast. Saturday and Sunday are projected to remain warm and dry, with highs again reaching the upper 80s. The NWS recommends monitoring local weather updates for any changes, but currently, no rain or significant weather hazards are expected through the weekend.
