Austin Weather Monday 11 A.M.: 63 Degrees and Overcast, Rain Chance Still 70 Percent, Wednesday Still 79
Late morning has used up almost all of Monday's warmth — 63.3 degrees against a high of 63.9 — with drizzle still coded and a 70 percent rain chance, before Tuesday dries out at 68 and Wednesday jumps to 79 under a fog code.
AUSTIN — The station's live feed at 11 a.m. on Monday reads 63.3 degrees under overcast skies, feeling like 64.9 — which means the day has already spent nearly all of its climb, because the high on the board is just 63.9. The low tonight is 58.8.
Monday stays coded for drizzle (weather code 53) with the precipitation chance holding at 70 percent, the same figure the feed carried at 9 a.m. Anyone heading out at midday should plan on the gray holding and a real chance of rain through the afternoon, even though the temperature itself has little room left to move.
Tuesday dries out and warms a step: overcast, a high of 68.2 and a low of 58.6, with the rain chance down to 9 percent. Wednesday is the week's turn — coded for fog (code 45) with a high of 79.4 and a low of 57.5 and only a 3 percent rain chance. Thursday and Friday stay clear at 77.6 and 77.1, Saturday is overcast at 78.0 with a 17 percent chance, and Sunday cools to 67.4 with rain showers coded and a 27 percent chance.
The shape of the week has not changed since this morning's files: one gray, wet Monday, a drying Tuesday, and then three days in the upper 70s. The Weather Desk updates again at the 17:00 file.
