Heat index up to 112 this afternoon. Heat advisory in place.
We're looking at another round of high temperatures in the upper 90s this week. High index values will trend into the triple digits.
AUSTIN, Texas — Our second round of heat alerts so far this year will likely be issued throughout this week. A ridge of high pressure in the upper atmosphere will build over Texas this week, bringing dangerous heat to most cities. A Heat Advisory has been issued for Tuesday from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. Llano, Gillespie, Blanco and Burnet counties are technically excluded from the advisory but will still experience triple-digit"feels like" temperatures, or heat indices. In the Interstate 35 corridor and Coastal Plains, the heat index could increase up to 112 degrees.
Even if a heat advisory is not issued in the mid-week, it is likely another heat alert will be issued heading into the weekend. Preliminary forecast models do hint at a dip in temperatures by early next week and maybe a bit of rain too. But for the short-term period, make sure you are taking care of yourself in this heat.
