Austin Overnight Weather: 63.8 and Clear, a Sunny Climb to 83.9, and Election Day Storm Odds Ease to 69 Percent
The extra hour came with clear skies. Austin fell to 63.8 overnight, Sunday climbs to 83.9 in sunshine, Monday turns foggy — and Tuesday's Election Day thunderstorm chance has eased from 80 percent to 69.
Austin used its extra hour well. The station's live weather feed, read in the early hours of Sunday, November 1, showed 63.8 degrees and clear skies (condition code 0), feeling like 66.4 — a sharp change from Saturday night's 76.6-degree overcast snapshot, and the coolest reading of the weekend so far. Sunday's forecast high is 83.9 with a low of 62.2 and just a 2 percent precipitation chance, a dry, sunny day for the last full day before Election Day week begins in earnest.
Monday changes the texture without changing the warmth. The feed puts fog (code 45) over Austin with a high of 79.6, a low of 65.5 and a 3 percent rain chance — a grey, damp-feeling start to the week that drivers should allow extra time for, even with no rain in the forecast. Tuesday remains the week's weather story, but a slightly softer one: thunderstorms (code 95) are still forecast for Election Day, November 3, with a high of 77.9 and a low of 67.5, yet the precipitation probability has eased to 69 percent, down from the 78 to 80 percent carried in Saturday's files.
Behind Tuesday, the week clears and warms again. Wednesday is partly cloudy at 80.4 with a 1 percent rain chance, Thursday reaches 82, Friday 80.7, and next Saturday 84 with the rain chance ticking back up to 22 percent. For voters, the practical read is unchanged even as the odds soften: Tuesday still carries the week's only thunderstorm signal, so the morning plan in the station's Election Day guide — pick a vote center, expect a wet spell, and remember anyone in line at 7 p.m. still votes — remains the right one, with a little more room for the storms to miss than Saturday's numbers suggested.
