FORECAST
TONIGHT
Overnight temperatures will ease into the low to mid 70s, keeping conditions mild but still a bit uncomfortable without air conditioning. Skies remain mostly clear with only a few passing clouds, but winds may gust 20–30 mph at times, especially in open areas.

TOMORROW
Sunday will be hot, dry, and hazy with mostly sunny to milky skies as Saharan dust moves over the region. Highs will reach the low to upper 90s across most of South Central Texas, with some areas near 100°F. Heat index values may climb to 100–107°F along and east of the I-35 corridor and across the Rio Grande Plains, so it will feel especially hot during the afternoon despite the dry conditions.
SAHARAN DUST
A plume of Saharan dust will begin moving into Texas by late Sunday, becoming more noticeable across South-Central Texas by Sunday evening into Monday.

By Monday, skies will take on a hazy, milky appearance with the thickest concentration expected during the afternoon. This may slightly reduce visibility and deepen sunsets, but widespread air quality impacts are expected to remain limited. The dust should begin to thin by Tuesday afternoon.
JULY 4TH SNEAK PEEK
Independence Day looks hot, mostly sunny, and dry across the region. Highs are expected to stay in the mid 90s, with heat index values running higher during the afternoon. A lingering haze from Saharan dust may still be present early in the week, but rain chances remain low, keeping outdoor plans in good shape—just expect the heat to be the main issue.
