San Antonio Heat Wave: Humidity Breaks Briefly

San Antonio is anticipating a predominantly dry and hot first week of August. Following isolated storms over the weekend that brought up to 3.5 inches of rain to some areas, the region will experience mostly clear skies. Monday offers a slight break from humidity, with temperatures reaching up to 102 degrees Fahrenheit, though drier air will moderate heat index values.

However, the heat is expected to intensify again from Tuesday onwards. Daytime temperatures will return to triple digits, accompanied by persistent south-southeast winds ranging from 5 to 10 mph, with gusts up to 20 mph. This pattern of seasonably hot and rain-free weather is forecast to continue through Friday, with highs around 97-98 degrees. Gradual increases in low-level dew points and cloud cover are expected later in the week.
