Key takeaway A high temperature in the upper-90s will allow for heat indices to top 100 for a few hours during the afternoon.
Why this matters in The San Antonio
The upcoming stretch of unsettled weather will likely have a significant impact on San Antonio 's outdoor events and festivals, which are a staple of the city's community calendar. With spotty downpours and minor street flooding possible on Friday and Saturday, event organizers will need to be prepared with backup plans to ensure public safety. The continued chances of rain next week may also affect the city's transportation infrastructure, potentially leading to delays and congestion on already busy roads. Residents who commute to work or school should be prepared for possible disruptions and plan their routes accordingly. Additionally, the heat indices topping 100 degrees today and the humid conditions that will follow may pose a health risk to vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and young children, who should take necessary precautions to stay cool and hydrated.
