AUSTIN, Texas — We marked our 8th triple-digit day in Central Texas Thursday afternoon with an outside shot of our 9th such day coming for Friday afternoon with virtually no cloud cover during the afternoon hours and a feels like temperature of 102.

A similar pattern does pop up for Saturday with maybe a few showers possible from Sunday for portions east of I-35 through parts of next week with variable 10-20% rain chances, with the better chances coming on Tuesday afternoon.

Highs during that period will either be at or slightly below average up until Wednesday with highs then and next Thursday hitting 101.

Here's the extended forecast below:

It's hot. No other way to put it.
