Your Weather Planner<\/p>\n

While it is still uncomfortably hot, temperatures overall should be right near normal for most of Texas this week. Austin and San Antonio can expect highs in the upper 90s, while DFW may see slightly \u201ccooler\u201d highs (mid 90s) Tuesday and Wednesday as a result of rain and storm chances. Any storms that develop are not expected to be severe. Austin and San Antonio may also see a few showers, but coverage will be widely scattered. Feels like temperatures will still be at or just above 100 degrees any given afternoon across the board.<\/p>\n
