Austin could tie a second straight daily heat record Sunday as temperatures settle in for at least another week.

Camp Mabry is forecast to reach 106 degrees, matching the record for Aug. 23 set in 2010. Some locations across South Central Texas could reach 107.

The National Weather Service issued an Extreme Heat Warning for Travis County until 7 p.m. Sunday. A Heat Advisory will take effect immediately afterward and remain in place through 7 p.m. Wednesday, extending the county’s run of official heat alerts into the middle of next week.

“The real strong high pressure is sort of centered over West Texas, New Mexico, but it covers the whole state and it covers much of the southern central part of the country,” said Bob Fogarty, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. “It lets us warm up almost as much as we possibly can at any given day in the summer like this.”

“All sunshine, not much clouds, not much wind to mix things up, so it just tends to be sort of stagnant, and that lets it get hotter,” Fogarty said. “It’s not showing signs of changing over the next few days, so we’re going to stay pretty hot.”

Saturday was Austin’s hottest day of the year. Camp Mabry reached 107, tying the Aug. 22 record set in 2024 and surpassing the previous 2026 high of 104.

The heat comes as new University of Texas students arrive on campus for Longhorn Welcome, the annual kick off to the school year. Outdoor events are scheduled from midday through sunset. For those looking to beat the heat, the university is offering free food and games in the Texas Union.

Saturday’s record temperatures coincided with the Austin Pride Festival at Fiesta Gardens. During the festival, which ran from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., organizers provided free water stations and allowed attendees to bring reusable water bottles.

Conditions eased a bit for the Pride Parade, which began at 8 p.m., but temperatures remained in the 90s until after 10 p.m.

A slight chance of rain is forecast for Thursday. But any storms are expected to be isolated and offer little lasting relief from the heat.
