Heat Advisory This Weekend, With Storms Watching the Skies
A heat advisory covers Bexar County this weekend, with scattered strong storms possible by evening.
If the heat does not get your attention this weekend, the skies might. Forecasters are watching a pattern that pairs Bexar County's heat advisory with a chance of strong storms moving across South Texas.
The T.W.A. News Weather team says daytime highs will stay well into the upper 80s and beyond, with heat index values making it feel hotter still. A heat advisory is in effect for Bexar County this weekend, and officials are urging residents to take the standard precautions: hydrate, limit midday exertion and check on elderly neighbors.
By late afternoon and evening, the same pattern could fire off scattered thunderstorms. The main concerns with any stronger storm will be frequent lightning, gusty winds and brief heavy downpours that can pond on low-lying roads.
The storm chances taper as the weekend closes, but the heat does not — forecasters expect above-normal temperatures to hold into next week.
