A stretch of near-record heat across Texas, including San Antonio, is easing only slightly this week, with warm days expected to continue before a more noticeable cooldown arrives this weekend.
High temperatures climbed into the upper 80s and low 90s over the weekend, flirting with record levels for March.
According to the National Weather Service, highs in San Antonio are expected to remain in the upper 80s and around 90 through Friday, before dropping into the upper 70s this weekend.
Forecasters say a passing front has brought some relief overnight and early in the morning, but the broader pattern still favors quick swings between warm and cooler conditions typical for early spring in South Central Texas.
Despite the shift, rain remains hard to come by.
The National Weather Service forecast shows little chance for meaningful rainfall in the coming days. Overnight lows are expected to fall into the 50s and low 60s, with increasing cloud cover but little chance for rain.
Another front is expected late Friday, bringing a modest cooldown into the weekend. The current forecast calls for a high near 78 on Saturday before temperatures edge back up Sunday.
