Austin Weather, Monday Afternoon: 79.6 Degrees and Partly Cloudy on the Way to 84, With Election Day's Rain Chance Easing to 61 Percent
The warmest part of the day is arriving under broken cloud. Tuesday still brings rain — the chance has eased from 66% at midday to 61% — with a high of only 75.3, before Wednesday clears completely.
Austin is into the warm part of a warm day. The station's live feed read 79.6 degrees and partly cloudy (code 2) at mid-afternoon, feeling like 82.7, on the way to a high of 84 against a low of 65.6. The day's overall code remains overcast (code 3) with a precipitation chance of just 4% — the cloud deck is broken enough to let the sun work, and it is working.
Election Day is the change in the week. Tuesday carries code 63 — rain — with a high of 75.3, a low of 58.7 and a precipitation chance of 61%. That figure has moved through the day: 57% in the mid-morning read, 66% at midday and now 61% in the afternoon update. The direction of the forecast has not changed in any read — Tuesday is the wet day of the week — and voters heading to the polls between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. should still plan on rain gear, with the heaviest chance built into the day's single wet code.
Behind the rain, the week resets. Wednesday is mainly clear (code 1) at 77.7 with no precipitation chance, Thursday turns overcast again at 73.5 with a 6% chance, and Friday holds overcast at 72.5 with a 4% chance. The weekend opens overcast as well — Saturday 74.5 at 19% and Sunday 79.5 at 13% on the current feed — so Tuesday's rain reads as a one-day interruption in a mild, mostly dry early-November pattern, not the start of a wet stretch.
