Overview
- National Weather Service forecasts place San Antonio in the low to mid-90s this weekend, with Saturday potentially tying the 94°F record set on March 21, 1904.
- Sunday could also come close to a record in the city, with highs near 94°F compared with the March 22 mark of 96°F.
- Del Rio, Eagle Pass and Big Bend are expected to reach the upper 90s, and San Angelo or Abilene could touch 100°F, which would be the earliest on record there if it occurs.
- Austin is forecast near 94°F Saturday and near 90°F much of the week, worsening ongoing drought and elevating wildfire risk across Central and South Texas.
- A weak front Monday should trim highs to the upper 80s before warmth rebuilds midweek into the upper 80s to low 90s, with limited rain and any later pattern change uncertain.
