Austin Evening Weather Update: Thursday's Fog Comes With a 36 Percent Rain Chance, and Friday Stays the Wet Day at 44 Percent

Austin's Wednesday evening is warm and grey on the station's live weather feed: 79.8 degrees, feeling like 82.4, under overcast skies. Wednesday's high is put at near 82 with a low near 65 and only a 4 percent chance of rain — a dry end to the day before the pattern turns.

Thursday's rain chance has risen for the third straight file. The feed codes Thursday for fog, with a high near 82 and a low near 67, and its rain chance is now 36 percent, up from 33 percent in the late-afternoon file and 30 percent at midday. Friday remains the week's wet day: rain, a high of only about 72, a low near 65 and a rain chance of 44 percent.

Halloween weekend still dries out behind Friday's rain. Saturday is coded for drizzle with a high near 79, a low near 67 and a 23 percent rain chance, and Sunday turns warm and largely dry — overcast, a high near 86 and a rain chance of just 3 percent, in time for the Sunday after Halloween and the end of daylight saving time.

Next week opens unsettled. The feed holds a thunderstorm code for Monday, with a high near 86 and a 21 percent rain chance, and Tuesday — Election Day — cools to near 76 with drizzle and a 39 percent rain chance. The Weather Desk will keep watching the Thursday fog and the timing of Friday's rain as the end of the week approaches.
