Austin Weather Thursday Mid-Morning: 62.8 Degrees and Clear, the High Eases to 78.6 and Saturday's Rain Chance Rises to 41 Percent
The morning is warming on schedule under a clear sky. Friday now reads warmer at 78.9, Saturday's rain chance is up to 41 percent, and Sunday still carries the week's wettest reading at 59 percent.
AUSTIN — Mid-morning in Austin is exactly what the early files promised: clear, bright and warming. The station's live weather feed read 62.8 degrees under a clear sky at the mid-morning check, feeling like 62.4, on the way to a sunny Thursday high now revised slightly down to 78.6, with the morning low recorded at 55.3 and no rain anywhere in today's outlook.
Friday has been revised warmer. The feed now puts Friday's high at 78.9 under overcast skies, with a colder morning low of 52.1 and precipitation still at zero — the last fully dry day of the stretch, and now the warmest one in the seven-day outlook as well.
The weekend turn is firming up rather than fading. Saturday brings drizzle (code 53), a high of only 66.6 and a low down to 53.5, and its precipitation chance has risen to 41 percent — up from 22 percent in the 05:00 file. Sunday remains the unsettled day of the week: drizzle, a high of 68.0, a low of 57.7 and the week's highest precipitation chance at 59 percent.
Monday holds at 63.8 with a 32 percent chance, Tuesday recovers to 70.5 with only a 3 percent chance, and by next Wednesday the feed has Austin at 73.7. For the rest of Thursday, the plan is unchanged from the morning file: sunshine from the 62.8-degree mid-morning reading to the 78.6-degree afternoon, one warm dry Friday, and then a weekend that now looks wetter on Saturday than it did at sunrise.
