The City of San Antonio announced a plan to open cooling centers on Sunday after thousands of residents lost power during severe storms on Friday and Saturday.
Five cooling centers in city libraries will operate from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Cody Library, Guerra Library, Mission Library, Semmes Library and Carver Library will offer a refuge from expected heat in the mid 80s.
More isolated storms are possible for the San Antonio area Sunday, and there’s a chance for scatted storms on Memorial Day, according to the National Weather Service.
The risk remains more severe for the Rio Grande Valley, but San Antonio and the Hill Country still remain under slight risk for storms that could produce rain and hail on the holiday.
The heavy rain during the first half of the long weekend also forced the Comal River in New Braunfels to close on Saturday amid an expected surge of visitors for the holiday weekend, according to the Express-News.
Free rides to the city cooling centers are available to residents who call 311 for assistance.
They can also text SHELTER to 55000 to receive information and updates on the shelters.
