Monday is shaping up to be partly sunny<\/a> in the morning before gradually becoming sunny. While afternoon temperatures could climb to as high as 98 degrees, humidity will be limited, so the heat index will top out at only 102. Southeast winds of 5 to 10 mph, however, will continue to bring moisture-rich air into the region from the Gulf Coast.<\/p>\nAt night, under mostly clear skies, temperatures overnight into Tuesday morning will stay above 76 degrees, forecasters said.<\/p>\n

Rain chances with Gulf disturbance<\/p>\n
As a tropical low pressure system churned westward in the northern Gulf of Mexico, forecasters said they were anticipating slight chances for sea breeze showers and storms in the first half of the work week, especially for the Coastal Plains in Texas east of the Interstate 35 corridor.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn Tuesday, an inverted trough (of low air pressure) will move inland from the Gulf, but it will be an open wave with very little upper-level support,\u201d the weather service said. \u201cThe\u00a0only areas that might see some rain Tuesday and Wednesday are the\u00a0Coastal Plains as sea breeze showers and storms attempt to move\u00a0further inland.<\/p>\n

Tuesday\u2019s forecast and beyond<\/p>\n
San Antonio on Tuesday should have plenty of sunshine as daytime temperatures once again peak at 98 degrees amid south winds of 5 mph, forecasters said. Wednesday is expected to be just as sunny and hot, with afternoon temperatures reaching 99 degrees.<\/p>\n
Rain chances finally return to South Texas by Thursday, as San Antonio gets a slim shot at showers and storms (20% chance) after 1 p.m. Temperatures could max out at 99 degrees in the afternoon while bottoming out overnight around 77 degrees before sunrise Friday.<\/p>\n

The 20% rain chance is expected to persist Friday in San Antonio. Otherwise, look for more sunshine that day and temperatures hitting 99 degrees.<\/p>\n
Should the high pressure loosen its grip on Texas, that could allow more rain-friendly weather systems to enter the picture, forecasters said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cRidging (of high pressure) may finally begin to break down by next\u00a0weekend, with a more active pattern possible as flow turns more
northerly,\u201d the weather service said. \u201cFor now, we will remain optimistic about a pattern shift\u00a0for the region.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Although most Texas temperatures will max out in the 90s, the humidity-driven heat index values will continue to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":421730,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":["post-421729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/421729","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=421729"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/421729\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/421730"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=421729"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=421729"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=421729"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
