Good morning, San Antonio. Here’s what you need to know today.
Your Weather Planner
A strong area of high pressure will keep rain chances very low, except for a few isolated storms near the sea breeze and along the coast for the rest of the week and into the weekend. High temperatures will climb into the upper 90s and even the triple digits, though record-breaking temperatures are not expected. With rising dew points, this weekend will feel even hotter than it did during the workweek. Meanwhile, the Atlantic is starting to heat up, and activity is picking up off the coast of Africa. The good news is that there’s no immediate threat to Texas at this time, but we’ll continue to monitor.
