Austin Sunday Weather: 69.4 and Clear Late Morning, 82.9 by Afternoon, and Election Day's Storm Code Eases to Rain at 69 Percent
The extra hour turned into a clear one. Austin read 69.4 degrees and clear at late morning, Sunday tops out at 82.9, Monday starts foggy — and Tuesday's Election Day precipitation chance still sits at 69 percent, though the feed now codes it as rain rather than thunderstorms.
Standard time arrived with a clean sky. The station's live weather feed, read late Sunday morning, showed 69.4 degrees under clear skies (code 0), feeling like 73.6 — a sharp brightening from the 61.3-degree partly cloudy reading at mid-morning. Sunday remains the weekend's best day: a high of 82.9, a low of 61.8 and just a 1 percent precipitation chance.
Monday is still the hinge. The feed holds fog (code 45) over Austin to start the day, with a high of 79.8, a low of 65.3 and a 3 percent rain chance — a grey commute rather than a wet one, with the active weather arriving toward Election Day.
Tuesday, November 3, is still a wet Election Day in the feed — a 69 percent precipitation probability, a high of 79 and a low of 68.4 — but the character of the day changed in this reading: the feed's code moved from thunderstorm (95) to rain (65). For voters the practical plan is unchanged: 201 Travis County vote centers open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., anyone in line at 7 p.m. still votes, and a wet spell at some point in the day remains the working assumption. Behind Tuesday the week clears — Wednesday is mainly clear at 80.1 — before Friday cools to 73.4.
