Heat Advisory & Bertha’s Breezy Impact | Austin News

Austin’s sweltering heat hits 103°F — the hottest day of 2026 so far — with humidity pushing the heat index into the 100-110°F range. A Heat Advisory remains in effect until 8 PM tonight. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Bertha is barreling toward Texas, making its second U.S. landfall along the coast later today. While heavy rain and flooding stay south of Austin, expect gusty winds as Bertha’s circulation passes by — with a slim chance of stray showers late tonight into Friday. The storm’s southward shift keeps major rainfall away from Central Texas, leaving our rain odds at just 10% for the rest of the week. Stay cool, stay alert — and brace for breezy conditions.
