Austin Halloween Morning Weather: Overcast, a High Near 79, and Election Day Rain Still at 71 Percent
Austin starts Halloween at 66.4 degrees under overcast skies on the station's live feed, warms near 79 for the Texas game and Sixth Street, then turns foggy Sunday before Election Day's wettest signal of the week.
Austin starts Halloween morning gray and mild. The station's live weather feed, powered by Open-Meteo and read shortly after 6 a.m., put the city at 66.4 degrees and overcast, feeling like 70.5, on the way to a high near 78.7 with a low of 65.6 and rain chances at just 4 percent - a touch warmer than the 77.1 high in the pre-dawn file.
That is the day the city has been planning around: the 6:30 p.m. Texas-Mississippi State kickoff at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, trick-or-treating, and a Sixth Street crowd APD put at 80,000 to 100,000 all run under dry, comfortable skies, sliding from the upper 70s toward the mid-60s after dark.
Sunday begins the turn. The feed shows fog (code 45) to start the day the clocks fall back, with a high near 80.5, a low near 62.9 and rain chances at 3 percent. Monday runs warm - a high near 87.8 with light drizzle possible at 6 percent - before the week's main weather event arrives on Election Day.
Tuesday, November 3, carries rain (code 53), a high near 77.6 and a rain chance of 71 percent, unchanged from the pre-dawn file and still the wettest signal of the week for the hours Travis County vote centers are open, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday clears to near 75.7 behind it, and Thursday and Friday run mild near 79 to 82. The desk updates again with the 17:00 file.
