This week, however, it may be hard to dodge a late-July heat wave. Temperatures will rise, with peak temperatures on Wednesday. As of now, we are forecasting 100\u00b0 in San Antonio. Heat indices will reach the low-100s. <\/p>\n<p>Extended Forecast (Copyright KSAT-12 2026 &#8211; All Rights Reserved)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">TROPICAL DEPRESSION #2<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">A tropical system has formed in the Gulf. Some strengthening is expected today and it could receive a name: Bertha. While there is still a good deal of uncertainty with TD #2\u2019s future, we are getting a bit more clarity this morning. TD#2\/Bertha likely affects the New Orleans area tomorrow into Wednesday. From there, it will encounter more wind shear, dry air, and possibly interact with land, with several computer models weakening the system. It then makes a run at South Texas during the second half of the work week. However, at the time it arrives to Texas, it very well could be in a weakened state. That means impacts to San Antonio and surrounding areas would be minimal. That said, as it is with tropical systems, much can change over the next 48 hours. Stay tuned for more updates. <\/p>\n<p>Tropical Depression #2 potential path, along with spaghetti plots.
