FORECAST
Hope you’ve had a great weekend!
After another record-challenging afternoon in San Antonio Sunday, evening plans will consist of temperatures falling through the 80s under partly cloudy skies.
Looking ahead to the upcoming work week, highs will remain warmer than average with mid-90s in the forecast through midweek. We will, however, see another round of drier air move in, leading to cooler and pleasant mornings as lows fall into the low-to-mid 60s as early as Wednesday.
HOPE FOR A COOL FRONT?
Based off of forecast data this weekend, there are early indications that we could see a more noticeable cool front around the October 14-16 timeframe. That’s still a long ways away, so we will need to continue to monitor trends. However, highs below 90° could finally be around the corner. We’ll keep you posted!
MONITORING THE GULF
Milton has now strengthened into a hurricane over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. As of the latest update from the National Hurricane Center, Milton is forecast to move east over the next couple days and will likely strengthen into a major hurricane before making landfall in Florida on Wednesday.
No impacts to Texas from Milton, but rainfall totals up to 5-10 inches will be a possibility across the Florida Peninsula by the time all is said and done.
More updates to come in the days ahead! Until then — have a great evening and a great week.
