Austin, Texas – Lingering isolated showers and storms across South-Central Texas will clear by 10 p.m., setting the stage for a significant heatwave next week. According to the National Weather Service in Austin-San Antonio, temperatures are expected to climb rapidly, with a 70% chance Austin will hit 100°F by Wednesday. San Antonio faces an 80% chance of triple-digit heat starting Tuesday, raising concerns for heat-related health risks.
Del Rio, which already experienced 100°F earlier this spring, could see highs soar past the century mark as early as Monday. Temperatures across Fredericksburg, La Grange, and surrounding areas will also trend sharply upward, with heat impacts likely by midweek. Lows will struggle to cool below the 70s, offering little overnight relief.
Residents should minimize outdoor activities during peak heat hours, stay hydrated, and check on vulnerable neighbors. Cooling centers may become necessary if conditions worsen.
This dangerous heat is expected to persist through at least Thursday, with additional advisories possible. Stay tuned for updates as the region moves toward potentially record-setting temperatures.
