As we head into this weekend, the weather forecast is shaping up to be quite toasty, especially for those in the Rio Grande area. Saturday promises hot and humid conditions, with temperatures soaring into the mid-to-upper 90s, and some areas potentially reaching a scorching 100°F. While the heat is a given, rain will be minimal, offering only a slight chance of isolated storms in Val Verde County during the evening.

On Sunday, expect more of the same as temperatures remain hot, peaking in the mid-90s. However, a weather disturbance may stir up some isolated storms in the Hill Country and southern Edwards Plateau on Sunday night. While the risk of severe weather is considered minimal, it’s advisable for residents to keep an eye on local weather updates.
SWEAT-TEMBER CONTINUES
For those looking forward to cooler fall temperatures, this weekend’s forecast may be disappointing. A persistent ridge of high pressure is expected to keep temperatures soaring above normal through late September. Expect afternoon highs to consistently climb between 95°F and 100°F, with heat indices often exceeding 100°F as well. Even overnight lows are likely to remain warm, and no significant cold front is on the horizon, indicating that summer-like weather is here to stay for the foreseeable future.

LOW RAIN CHANCES
Looking ahead to next week, the forecast indicates that rain will be limited. There is only a 25% chance of isolated afternoon storms, and confidence in this prediction remains low due to evolving weather patterns. As such, most areas are expected to stay dry, continuing the trend of warm, sunny days.
