Austin Weather Thursday Midday: 72.2 Degrees and Clear, the High Reaches 79.4 and Saturday's Rain Chance Holds at 41 Percent
Thursday has warmed fast since the morning file — 72.2 and clear at midday, on the way to 79.4. Friday stays dry and warm before Saturday's drizzle chance and a cooler weekend.
AUSTIN — Thursday is running warmer than the morning file had it. The station's live feed put Austin at 72.2 degrees and clear at midday, feeling like 71.1, up from 62.8 degrees at the morning check, and today's high has been revised up to 79.4 degrees with a low of 55.3 and no rain chance at all.
Friday stays in the same pattern: overcast at times, a high of 78.9 and a low of 52.1, with the precipitation chance still at zero. The change arrives Saturday, when the feed shows drizzle, a high of only 66.6 and a rain chance of 41 percent — the same figure the morning file carried, now a day closer.
Sunday keeps a 59 percent rain chance with a high of 68.0 and a low of 57.7, and Monday is the week's coolest day at 63.8 with a 32 percent chance. The rain chances then fall away: 3 percent Tuesday with a high of 70.5, and 10 percent Wednesday with a high of 73.7.
The practical read for Austin is a warm, dry Thursday and Friday, a wet and noticeably cooler weekend, and a slow warm-up behind it. The Weather Desk updates this file whenever the live feed moves materially from the figures above.
