Austin Weather Monday 9 A.M.: Rain Chance Climbs to 70 Percent, High Cut to 63, Then 79 Wednesday
Monday's gray morning is getting grayer on the live feed: the rain chance is up to 70 percent and the high down to 63 degrees, Tuesday now looks drizzly and cooler at 68, and the warmup still arrives Wednesday at 79.
AUSTIN — Monday's rain is looking more likely, not less. The station's live weather feed read 60.3 degrees and overcast at 9 a.m., with today's precipitation chance raised to 70 percent and the high trimmed to 62.9 degrees — the third straight cycle in which the feed has cooled and wetted the day.
Tuesday has changed character, too: the feed now puts drizzle (code 51) over the day with a high of 68.2 and a 7 percent rain chance, cooler than the 70.4 the morning file carried. The rain signal itself stays a Monday story — it does not carry into the week.
Wednesday still delivers the warmup, at 79.4 degrees under a morning fog code with a 3 percent rain chance, and Thursday and Friday stay clear and mild at 77.6 and 77.1 degrees with no rain chance at all. Saturday holds at 78 degrees, overcast, with the chance ticking up to 17 percent.
The week's next real wet signal remains Sunday, when rain showers return with a high of 67.4 and a 27 percent chance. The Weather Desk updates the file on the 17:00 cycle; any change in today's rain chances will lead it.
