Austin closes a gray Monday at 62.6 degrees under overcast skies, Tuesday brings a drizzle code and a milder night, and the warm-up is still on schedule — 78.8 on Wednesday and 80.6 on Friday.
AUSTIN — The station's live feed at 5 p.m. on Monday reads 62.6 degrees, feeling like 63.8, under an overcast sky (weather code 3), with the day closing at a high of 63.8 and tonight's low set at 58.8. Monday's precipitation chance holds at 70 percent under its light-drizzle code into the evening.
Tuesday changes character rather than temperature: the code turns to drizzle (53), the high rises to 69.2, the low comes up to 61.1 — a milder night — and the rain chance falls to 10 percent. Wednesday keeps its fog code (45) and the week's first real warmth at 78.8, with the rain chance down to 1 percent.
Thursday and Friday stay dry under overcast codes — 76.6 on Thursday and a week-best 80.6 on Friday. The weekend still leans wet at the edges: Saturday is coded for rain showers at 77.2 with a 24 percent chance, and Sunday cools to 71.1 with drizzle coded and the chance at 31 percent.
The week's shape has held all day — a wet gray Monday, a drying and warming middle, an 80-degree Friday — and the 5 p.m. file changes only the details: a cooler evening, a milder Tuesday night, and drizzle written into Tuesday's code. The Weather Desk updates again Tuesday morning.
