FORECAST DETAILS:
Made it to Friday!
A toasty first weekend of August is in store as high temperatures near 100 degrees each afternoon in San Antonio. Factor in the humidity, and heat indices could approach the 105 to 110 degree range, especially on Saturday. Be careful if spending time out in this heat!
A weak frontal boundary will move into Texas this weekend and spark up spotty storms north of our area each afternoon. While most of the activity will weaken as it approaches South Central Texas, a few isolated storms could survive the journey into parts of our region in the evening hours, with slightly better odds across the Hill Country and north of Highway 90. We’ll keep an isolated storm chance in the forecast both Saturday and Sunday evenings as a result, with the slightly better chance falling on the back half of the weekend.
High pressure takes back over next week, leading to another stretch of hot and dry days with highs near 100 degrees and plenty of sunshine.
TROPICS:
A tropical disturbance moving over Cuba Friday evening is expected to organize into Tropical Storm Debby as it moves into the eastern Gulf of Mexico on Saturday. This system is expected to curve towards Florida, likely making landfall along the western Florida peninsula before the weekend is over. This system will NOT impact Texas, but heavy rain is expected across Florida over the next few days.
