Austin Friday Morning Weather: Drizzle and 69 Degrees for the Last Day of Early Voting, Halloween at 73.6, and Election Day Thunderstorms Now at 49 Percent
The station's live feed at 4 a.m. put Austin at 65.8 degrees under overcast skies, with drizzle coded for Friday, a cooler Halloween, and the wettest Election Day signal yet.
Austin starts Friday at 65.8 degrees, feeling like 68.3, under overcast skies on the station's live Open-Meteo feed. Friday itself now carries a drizzle code (53), a high of 69.3 degrees, a low of 64.3 and a 45 percent precipitation chance — a cool, damp final day of early voting, with seven Travis County sites open until 10 p.m.
Halloween cooled a little further overnight. Saturday is coded overcast with a high of 73.6 degrees, a low of 64.8 and a 26 percent precipitation chance — dry enough on this feed for trick-or-treating and the Sixth Street crowds, with a small chance attached. Sunday is the warm break: overcast, 84.0 degrees, a low of 67.7 and only a 7 percent chance.
Monday stays warm and overcast at 87.6 degrees with a 25 percent chance, and then Election Day's signal strengthened. Tuesday still carries thunderstorms (code 95), but its precipitation chance rose from 43 percent to 49 percent on this morning's feed, with a high of 77.3 and a low of 68.3 — the wettest Election Day reading this desk has carried this week.
Behind the election the feed clears: Wednesday is clear at 77.3 degrees with a 2 percent chance, and Thursday is overcast at 79.8 with a 4 percent chance. All figures are single-feed reads and will be re-read for the 17:00 file.
