Austin Halloween Morning Weather: Light Drizzle at 4 Percent and a High of 79 for Game Day, Sunday Fog, and Election Day Thunderstorms at 58 Percent
The station's live feed opens Halloween at 66.4 and overcast, with Saturday's drizzle chance eased to just 4 percent: a warm, mostly dry day for the 6:30 p.m. kickoff and trick-or-treating, fog for the morning after the clocks fall back, and Tuesday's storm signal holding at 58 percent.
Halloween opens mild and gray in Austin. The station's live weather feed, powered by Open-Meteo and read by this desk in the first hours of Saturday, put the city at 66.4 degrees and overcast, feeling like 69.5 — and it eased the day's rain signal overnight: a high near 79, light drizzle (code 51) possible at only a 4 percent rain chance, and a low near 65.1.
That is a better Halloween than Friday night's late file promised. The 6:30 p.m. Texas-Mississippi State kickoff at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium and the evening's trick-or-treating both sit in the upper 70s easing toward the mid-60s, with any drizzle light and unlikely — the warm, mostly dry pattern downtown's Sixth Street crowds were hoping for on the last night of October.
Sunday turns quieter and stranger: fog (code 45) on the morning, a high near 82.8 and rain chances down to 3 percent — worth an unhurried start for anyone driving early, on the morning after the clocks fall back at 2 a.m. Sunday. Monday stays overcast and warm near 84.7 with rain chances at 11 percent.
Election Day remains the week's weather story, unchanged overnight. Tuesday carries the feed's thunderstorm signal (code 95), a high near 78.5, a low near 67.3 and rain chances of 58 percent for voters heading to the polls between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Wednesday clears behind the storms, sunny near 76.8 with rain chances at 1 percent, and the rest of the week runs dry and mild. The desk refreshes the Election Day picture with the morning files as the storm timing firms up.
