Austin Halloween Saturday Weather: The High Eases to 75, and Election Day Now Carries a Thunderstorm Signal at 71 Percent
Austin is 66.8 degrees and overcast on the station's live feed, the Halloween high has been trimmed to 75.3, and Tuesday's Election Day code has firmed up to thunderstorms - still a 71 percent rain chance for voting hours.
Austin's Halloween has cooled a touch since dawn. The station's live weather feed, powered by Open-Meteo and read shortly after 8 a.m., put the city at 66.8 degrees under overcast skies, feeling like 71.7, on the way to a high of 75.3 with a low of 65.6 and rain chances at just 4 percent. That high is a real revision - down from the 78.7 in this desk's 06:24 file - and it is the number to plan the afternoon around.
For the day's two big outdoor draws, the feed stays friendly: the 6:30 p.m. Texas-Mississippi State kickoff and Halloween night downtown both run dry on the current signal, easing from the mid-70s toward the mid-60s after dark. Trick-or-treating neighborhoods get the same overcast, rain-free evening.
Sunday starts with fog (code 45) on the morning the clocks fall back, with a high near 80.5 and a low near 62.9. Monday runs warm - a high near 88.4, the warmest day of the week - before the week's main event arrives with the election.
Tuesday, November 3, now carries a thunderstorm code (95) on the feed, a step firmer than the rain code in earlier files, with a high near 76.9, a low near 66.1 and the rain chance unchanged at 71 percent - still the wettest signal of the week, squarely over the 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. hours Travis County vote centers are open. Wednesday and Thursday clear behind it, near 77 and 83. The desk updates again with the 17:00 file.
