SAN ANTONIO (KTSA News) — Weather forecasters are elevating San Antonio, New Braunfels and much of the I-35 Corridor to Excessive Heat Warning status through Monday night, and this trend is expected to continue through at least Thursday.

During this stretch, temperatures of 105 are likely with a heat index of 112, or greater.

NOTE: For those who have to work outside, it will be important to take appropriate precautions. The same can be said for those enjoying recreational activities outdoors.

Drinking plenty of water and taking frequent breaks, preferably in an air-conditioned environment, are strongly recommended.
