Austin Late-Afternoon Weather: 73 and Clear, Friday's High Revised Up to 73.5 — and Sunday's Rain Chance Climbs to 69 Percent
The live feed at mid-afternoon reads 73.2 degrees and clear, warmer than the afternoon file carried. Saturday has eased to overcast at 67 with rain at 43 percent, but Sunday is now the week's wettest day by a wider margin: rain at 69 percent and a high of just 60.7.
Austin's Friday is finishing warmer than the forecast that started it. The station's live Open-Meteo feed, read at about 3:10 p.m., puts the city at 73.2 degrees and clear, feeling like 70.7, with precipitation at 1 percent — and Friday's high on the feed is now 73.5, up from the 71.5 the midday and afternoon files carried. The low tonight is 56.9 under overcast skies: a mild, dry evening for the Food & Wine Festival at Auditorium Shores and the Friday-night football finales.
Saturday has softened and cooled at the same time. The feed now carries overcast (code 3) instead of the rain it showed at midday, with a high of 67.0 — down from 69.6 — a low of 55.0 and precipitation at 43 percent. It is a grey, cool day rather than a washout on the current numbers, though the chance of rain never leaves the forecast.
Sunday is where the weekend rain has concentrated. The feed carries rain (code 63) with a high of just 60.7, a low of 56.9 and precipitation at 69 percent — up from the 62 percent in the afternoon file and the highest figure anywhere in the seven-day run. Sunday-morning plans, including the Run For The Water start on Cesar Chavez, should be made for a real chance of rain, not around it.
Behind the weekend, Monday stays damp with drizzle (code 51), a high of 64.0 and precipitation at 49 percent, before the pattern dries and warms: Tuesday reaches 74.6 with drizzle chances at 21 percent, Wednesday 72.3 at 16 percent, and Thursday 77.4 at just 6 percent. The feed's figures have moved twice today, and this update records the moves rather than overwriting them; the standing evening weather file follows at 17:00.
