Austin Weather Monday 3 P.M.: 64 Degrees and Overcast Again, Weekend Rain Chances Rising
Austin has nudged up to 64.1 degrees under a returned overcast sky, the rain chance still holds at 70 percent for Monday, and the feed now puts the weekend's rain chances higher — 24 percent Saturday and 31 percent Sunday.
AUSTIN — The station's live feed at 3 p.m. on Monday reads 64.1 degrees, feeling like 65.1, under an overcast code — the clouds have closed back in after the early afternoon's partly-cloudy break — with the day's high now set at 64.4 and tonight's low at 58.8.
Monday remains coded for light drizzle (weather code 51) with the precipitation chance holding at 70 percent, so the evening commute keeps the day's rain risk. Tuesday turns warmer and drier: overcast, a high of 69.2, a low of 59.9 and the rain chance down to 8 percent. Wednesday keeps its fog code (45) and a high of 78.8, with the chance down to 1 percent.
Thursday and Friday stay dry and warm — overcast both days, 76.6 on Thursday and a week-best 80.6 on Friday. The change in this update is the weekend: Saturday is coded for rain showers at 77.2 with the chance raised to 24 percent (from 17 percent at 1 p.m.), and Sunday cools to 71.1 with drizzle coded and the chance up to 31 percent.
The week's shape is unchanged — a wet gray Monday, a drying and warming middle, an 80-degree Friday — but the back end now leans wetter than it did two hours ago. The Weather Desk updates again at the 17:00 file.
