Austin Weather Monday 7 P.M.: 61.4 Degrees, Tuesday's Drizzle Code Is Gone and Friday Now Reads 81.2
Austin's gray Monday ends at 61.4 degrees — and the forecast behind it improved twice in two hours: Tuesday lost its drizzle code entirely, and Friday's high climbed to 81.2, the best number of the week.
AUSTIN — The station's live feed at 7 p.m. on Monday reads 61.4 degrees, feeling like 63.9, 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 still reads 70 percent under its light-drizzle code into the night.
Tuesday changed for the better after the 5 p.m. file: the drizzle code (53) is gone, replaced by plain overcast (3), the high holds at 69.2 with a mild low of 61.0, and the rain chance is cut to 8 percent. Wednesday keeps its fog code (45) at 78.3, and Thursday joins it at 78.3 under overcast skies with no rain chance at all.
Friday is now the week's peak: 81.2 degrees under an overcast code, up from 80.6 in the afternoon file. Saturday still carries rain showers (code 81) at 76.1 with a 24 percent chance, and Sunday cools harder than it read at 5 p.m. — 67.8 degrees with drizzle coded and the chance at 31 percent.
The week's shape survives every revision — a wet gray Monday, a warm dry middle, a showery Saturday — but the details keep improving for anyone with outdoor plans before the weekend. The Weather Desk updates again Tuesday morning.
