Austin Sunday Weather: 82.7 and Mainly Clear at Mid-Afternoon, 84.1 at the Top, and Election Day's High Eases to 78.3 With Rain Still at 70 Percent
Sunday is delivering the warm close to the Halloween weekend the morning files promised — 82.7 degrees and mainly clear, feeling like 88.8. Monday still opens in fog, and Tuesday's Election Day rain chance holds at 70 percent.
Austin's first afternoon on standard time is a summer echo. The station's live weather feed, read at mid-afternoon on Sunday, November 1, showed 82.7 degrees under mainly clear skies (code 1), feeling like 88.8, on the way to a Sunday high of 84.1 with a low of 61.8 and just a 1 percent precipitation chance — the warmest, driest day of the weekend, exactly as the dawn file had it.
Monday remains the hinge. The feed holds fog (code 45) over Austin to start the day, with a high of 79.8, a low of 65.1 and a 3 percent rain chance — a grey, slow commute rather than a wet one, with the active weather still timed for after dark ahead of the Election Day front.
Tuesdays's Election Day numbers moved only at the edges. The feed still codes Tuesday as rain (code 65) with a 70 percent precipitation probability, but the high eased to 78.3 from 79 and the low to 67.6. Travis County's 201 Election Day vote centers are open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and anyone in line at 7 p.m. still votes; a rain plan for the trip to the polls remains the working advice. Behind the front, Wednesday turns overcast and dry at 79.9 and Thursday climbs back to 82.9.
