San Antonio Weather Update: Humidity Rises and Hurricane Francine Approaches
Welcome back, San Antonio! As we gear up for the rest of the week, it’s time to chat about the weather that’s heading our way. The warm, sunny days of September are not quite over yet, but we have a bit of a weather shift underway. So, grab your favorite drink, sit back, and let’s dive into it!
Feeling the Humidity
Starting tomorrow morning, you might notice a bit more stickiness in the air as humidity levels begin to climb. Early risers can expect morning lows creeping back into the 70s, which, let’s be honest, can feel a bit sweaty before you’ve even had your morning coffee. By the afternoon, temperatures will also see a little boost, making their way into the mid to upper 90s by Friday and Saturday.
With that humidity factored in, it’s going to feel closer to a sizzling 100°F. So if you have plans to be outdoors, make sure to stay hydrated and maybe keep an eye out for some shade!
Hurricane Francine’s Influence
Now, let’s talk about Hurricane Francine, which recently ramped up to a category 1 storm. It’s making its way toward the Gulf Coast, projected to hit Louisiana on Wednesday afternoon. While Francine is stirring up some excitement in the gulf, its impact on us here in San Antonio should be fairly minimal.
The clouds from the hurricane are already settling over our city, setting the scene for a truly magical evening. Expect a beautiful sunset—don’t forget to grab your camera because this is one picture-perfect moment you won’t want to miss!
As for coastal areas, Louisiana is preparing for some serious weather, with storm surges that could reach as high as 10 feet in certain spots. Rainfall could amount to 9 to 12 inches in parts of Louisiana, leading to potential flooding. So, while we may not have to brace for such intense conditions, keep those folks in our neighboring state in your thoughts. They could certainly use some good vibes as they prepare for a challenging few days ahead.
Be Prepared, San Antonio!
As we move toward the later part of the week, it’s a great time to check your supply of water, sunscreen, and any other summer essentials you might need. Even with the upswing in humidity and heat, it’s vital to enjoy the last few days of summer while being cautious. Whether you’re spending the day at the park, chilling by the pool, or just enjoying a night out, a little bit of preparation can go a long way!
Final Thoughts
So there you have it, San Antonio! As we embark on this week filled with humidity and the distant rumble of Hurricane Francine, let’s remember to enjoy our beautiful sunsets while keeping an eye on the weather as it unfolds. Keep your spirits high, stay safe, and let’s make the most of these warm September days! Until next time, take care and stay cool!
