Record heat this weekend

SAN ANTONIO — A summer-like weather pattern will strengthen and park itself over Texas this weekend into next week. This means temperatures will climb and rain chances diminish. 

An upper-level high pressure, known as the 'heat dome', will keep South Texas hot and dry Thursday through next Tuesday.
