Central Texas braces for a brutal heatwave starting Thursday, August 20th, with temps hitting 104°F and heat index soaring to 112°F—potentially climbing even higher. The advisory spans from the Hill Country to I-35 and coastal plains, covering Austin, San Antonio, and Waco. With a dangerous heat dome intensifying, officials warn of heat stroke risks and urge everyone to stay hydrated, wear light clothing, avoid outdoor activities during peak heat, and always check cars before locking them. A possible upgrade to an Excessive Heat Warning looms if conditions worsen.
