Rainfall totals across South Texas this week were astounding. From the Hill Country to the Edwards Plateau and south to the U.S. 90 corridor, a very large area recorded\u00a0between 8 and 20 inches of rain<\/a> over the past five days.<\/p>\n

The week\u2019s highest rainfall report came from Uvalde County, where 28.15 inches of rain was measured northeast of\u00a0Uvalde, along FM 2690. In Kerr County, isolated reports of 20-25 inches were reported in Ingram, about 6 miles west of\u00a0Kerrville.<\/p>\n

Finally, after days of flooding, South and Central Texas\u00a0is finally starting to dry out.<\/a> Much of the region recorded a rain-free day on Friday, which represented the start of a significant shift toward more typical summer weather in the region. Here\u2019s what to expect.<\/p>\n

Saturday: San Antonio is expected to start the day with mostly sunny skies and temperatures hovering in the mid- to upper 70s. A few isolated showers will be possible over the Hill Country, but most areas will stay dry.<\/p>\n

Skies will turn partly sunny by the middle of the day, allowing temperatures to rise into the mid-80s by noon. Then by the late afternoon, San Antonio temps are\u00a0likely to reach around 92 degrees<\/a> \u2014 still about 3 degrees below average for mid-July.<\/p>\n

Humidity levels will be elevated, thanks in part to standing water continuing to evaporate throughout the day. Expect muggy air, with \u201cfeels like\u201d temperatures expected to reach near 100 degrees.<\/p>\n

The Hill Country will be slightly cooler, with temperatures expected to reach the upper 80s in areas like\u00a0Kerrville, Fredericksburg and Comfort.<\/p>\n

Sunday: Sunday\u2019s forecast will be very similar to Saturday, albeit with more afternoon sunshine that could lead to temperatures rising another couple degrees to reach 94 degrees. Humidity will stay elevated as well, keeping heat index values hovering near 100 degrees during the afternoon and early evening.<\/p>\n

Forecast models are showing that high air pressure is expected to strengthen over Texas over the upcoming week, especially between Tuesday and Friday. Historically, this is a common summer pattern in Texas, but it\u2019s one we have not seen as much this year.<\/p>\n

This shift in the weather pattern will bring hot and sunny weather to South-Central Texas every day this week. Temperatures are expected to top out at 95 to 96 degrees from Monday through Wednesday. Then by the second half of the week, temps will climb a bit more into the upper 90s.<\/p>\n

No rain is expected across the region over the next week. In fact, long-range weather models are not showing any significant rain chances for the area for the next 10 to 14 days. Temperatures also could rise into the triple digits by the week of July 26-30. San Antonio has not reached 100 degrees so far this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rainfall totals across South Texas this week were astounding.
