AUSTIN — Thursday starts where Wednesday ended: clear and mild. The station's live weather feed read 59.8 degrees under a clear sky in the early hours of Thursday, feeling like 59.5, on the way to the week's sunniest day — clear skies, a high of 79.1 and a low of 56.3, with no rain in the outlook.
Friday stays dry but cools: overcast, a high of 75.9 and a chilly morning low of 53.1. It is the last dry day of the stretch, and the feed's weekend revision is the part of this forecast that changed overnight — Saturday now reads colder and wetter than last night's file had it.
Saturday brings rain (code 61) and a high of only 65.7 degrees — a drop of more than 13 degrees from Thursday's peak — with a low of 57.2 and a 33 percent precipitation chance. Sunday stays unsettled with drizzle, a high of 67.7, a low of 56.5 and the week's highest precipitation chance, 59 percent. Monday holds at 62.8 with a 24 percent chance, and Tuesday is overcast and dry at 64.1.
By next Wednesday the feed has Austin recovering to 73.5, still overcast. For Thursday itself there is nothing to plan around except the sunshine: clear from the 59.8-degree start to the 79.1-degree afternoon, before Friday's cooler morning and the weekend's rain arrive on schedule.
