Key takeaway Highs will reach the low to upper 90s across most of South Central Texas, with some areas near 100°F.
Why this matters in The San Antonio
San Antonio residents can expect a pleasant Saturday with plenty of sunshine, making it an ideal day to explore the city's outdoor spaces. With temperatures reaching 93 degrees, locals can take advantage of the city's many parks and trails, or visit popular spots like the River Walk or Market Square. However, the arrival of Saharan Dust by Monday may impact outdoor activities, particularly for those with respiratory issues. The dust is expected to clear out by Tuesday, but its presence serves as a reminder to check air quality indexes before heading outdoors. As the week progresses, the city's dry conditions are expected to persist, with temperatures staying in the mid 90s. This could have implications for the city's water conservation efforts, and residents may want to take extra precautions to conserve water during this period.
