Summer Is Back in San Antonio After a Brief Whiff of Fall
Weather can sure be a rollercoaster! Here in San Antonio, we took a little detour into fall, but summer is quickly regaining its footing. Get ready, because we’re in for a ride with afternoon highs soaring back into the mid to upper 90s. Yes, you heard it right – it seems those cozy fall vibes have retreated, leaving us to sweat it out!
What to Expect This Week
This Friday, we’re looking at a record-setting day. The high is predicted to hit around 99°F, just a degree or two shy of the record! Make sure you’re prepared with plenty of water and a shady spot to escape the heat. The heat index is set to hover around 100°F, meaning it could feel even hotter! It’s a classic South Texas summer day, to say the least.
Rain Chances: Not So Much
Now, if you were hoping for some relief from all that sunshine, you might want to hold your horses. The forecast holds meager rain chances of about 10%-20%, mainly on Sunday and into next week. That moisture rolling in from the Pacific seems to be more interested in putting on a show with clouds than actually giving us any rain. Most of us will likely just see some clouds floating high above. So, keep those umbrellas at the back of your closet for now!
A Look at Hurricane Francine
On a more serious note, the weather hasn’t been all sunshine and smiles. Over along the Central Louisiana Coast, Hurricane Francine made landfall this afternoon, packing a punch with wind gusts measuring up to 105 mph on Eugene Island. This hurricane is now weakening but is expected to push some rain northward towards states like Mississippi and Tennessee. It’s a reminder of how quickly weather can change and how powerful it can be.
