Austin Evening Weather: Overcast and Warm Tonight, With the Week's Best Rain Chance Arriving Friday
Austin sits at 80.5 degrees under overcast skies this evening after a high of 81.2 — and the live forecast holds the warmth through a drizzly Wednesday before Friday's showers cool the city to the low 70s.
Austin's Monday is ending the way it spent most of its afternoon: warm and grey. The station's live Open-Meteo feed read 80.5 degrees, feeling like 80.8, under overcast skies at the evening check, after a daytime high of 81.2 and with no precipitation recorded on the day. The overnight low was 58.9, so the evening stays mild for anyone heading to the Parks Board meeting or an evening walk.
Tuesday stays much the same — a high of 78.1 and a low of 64.7, still overcast, with the precipitation chance edging up to 18 percent. Wednesday is the week's warmest day at 84.4, but it comes with drizzle in the feed (weather code 55) and a 15 percent precipitation chance, before Thursday settles back to 78.5 with a warmer overnight low of 68.5.
The real change arrives Friday. The feed shows rain showers (code 81), the week's highest precipitation chance at 45 percent, and a high of just 71.9 — nearly 10 degrees cooler than Monday — with a low of 66.0. Anyone planning Halloween-night routes a week early, or a Friday commute, should plan for wet roads.
The weekend then dries and warms again: Saturday reaches 77.6 with a 14 percent precipitation chance, and Sunday jumps to 87.6 under a 4 percent chance — the warmest reading in the seven-day feed, and a reminder that in Austin, fall arrives in turns, not all at once.
