San Antonio, Texas – Relentless heat continues to grip South-Central Texas this week, with temperatures in San Antonio expected to reach 96°F by Wednesday afternoon. Drivers along I-35 and residents throughout Bexar County should take extra precautions to stay cool and hydrated, especially during afternoon hours when the heat will peak.
According to the National Weather Service, sunny skies and light winds will dominate the region through at least Saturday. Overnight lows will remain warm, hovering in the low to mid-70s, offering little relief from the daytime heat. Winds from the east and southeast at 5 to 10 mph will provide minimal cooling.
Outdoor workers and vulnerable groups are urged to limit sun exposure between noon and 6 p.m. to avoid heat-related illness. Keep water on hand, wear light clothing, and check on elderly neighbors as the week progresses.
No significant rain is expected until early next week, with only a 20% chance of showers returning by Monday. This extended dry period increases the risk of grass fires in rural zones west of San Antonio.
Heat-sensitive activities, especially those planned outdoors this weekend, should be rescheduled for mornings or moved indoors. City cooling centers remain open and will operate extended hours if needed.
