Austin Evening Weather: Wednesday Turns Cooler With Showers and a High Near 76
Tuesday ends warm and clear in Austin, but the station's live feed now calls for Wednesday showers and a high near 76 — about six degrees cooler than the morning forecast — before a warm Halloween weekend.
Austin closes Tuesday warm and clear. The station's live weather feed, powered by Open-Meteo, read 81.5 degrees and clear in the late afternoon, on a day that topped out near 82 with a low of about 63 and only a 1 percent chance of rain.
Wednesday is the change day in the current feed. The feed now shows showers, a high near 76 and a low near 66, with rain chances around 16 percent — a cooler, wetter read than this morning's forecast, which had Wednesday in the low 80s with drizzle. Thursday stays mild, with drizzle possible, a high near 75 and rain chances around 13 percent.
Friday, the last day of early voting and the start of Halloween weekend, rebounds to a high near 77 with rain chances around 21 percent. Saturday runs warmer still, near 83, and Sunday climbs to near 89 under a slight drizzle signal.
The heat peaks early next week in the current feed, with Monday near 91 and showers possible. That is a signal a week out, not a warning, and the Weather Desk will update the forecast with Wednesday morning's file.
