Austin Sunday Morning Weather: 62.6 and Clear at Dawn, 84.2 by Afternoon, and Election Day Storms Still at 69 Percent
Daylight saving time ended overnight and Austin woke up an hour earlier to clear skies and 62.6 degrees. Sunday climbs to 84.2 in sunshine; Monday turns foggy, and Tuesday's Election Day thunderstorms — with a Level 1 severe risk late Monday night — remain the week's story.
Austin's clocks fell back at 2 a.m., and the city used the extra hour under clear skies. The station's live weather feed, read at dawn on Sunday, November 1, showed 62.6 degrees and clear conditions (code 0), feeling like 65.1 — the coolest morning reading of the weekend. Sunday's forecast is a clean one: a high of 84.2, a low of 61.8 and just a 2 percent precipitation chance, a warm, dry Halloween-weekend closer for the last full day before Election Day.
Monday keeps the warmth and changes the feel. The feed puts fog (code 45) over Austin to start the day, with a high of 79.6, a low of 65.5 and a 3 percent rain chance — a grey morning commute that asks drivers for patience rather than rain gear. The day's real weather arrives after dark: KXAN reported the Storm Prediction Center has put most of Central Texas in a Level 1 of 5 severe risk for Monday night into early Tuesday morning, ahead of the Election Day front.
Tuesday, November 3, remains the week's weather event. The feed forecasts thunderstorms (code 95) with a high of 77.9, a low of 67.5 and a 69 percent precipitation probability — unchanged from the overnight file, down from the 78 to 80 percent carried on Saturday. For voters, the practical plan in the station's Election Day guide still holds: 201 vote centers open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., expect a wet spell at some point in the day, and remember that anyone in line at 7 p.m. still votes. Behind the front, the week clears and warms again — Wednesday 80.4, Thursday 82, Friday 80.7 and next Saturday 84.
