July 4th forecast is a sizzler 🎆

After a record-setting May and June, it likely comes as no surprise that Independence Day will be hot.

That’s to be expected, but it’s the combination of heat and drought that is a bit concerning this year. Despite some good rains in the last week, San Antonio International Airport is still more than 11 inches below average for rainfall.

Certain fireworks are restricted in Bexar County and other nearby counties due to drought conditions.

Boerne and Fredericksburg have canceled their firework shows due to fire danger.

The current forecast calls for a high of 100° on Monday.

If you’re catching a fireworks show on Monday evening, you can expect it to be a warm, mostly clear evening.

Have a safe and fun weekend!
