Austin Weather Thursday Morning: 58.4 Degrees and Clear, a Sunny 79.1 Ahead Before Saturday's Rain
Thursday is the week's clear peak — 79.1 and sunny. Friday stays dry and warm at 77.1, Saturday's rain chance eases to 22 percent, and Sunday carries the week's wettest reading at 58 percent.
AUSTIN — Thursday is opening the way the overnight file promised: clear and mild. The station's live weather feed read 58.4 degrees under a clear sky at the morning check, feeling like 58.2, on the way to a clear, sunny Thursday with a high of 79.1. The morning low has been nudged up to 56.5, and there is no rain anywhere in today's outlook.
Friday remains the last dry day of the stretch and a warm one: overcast skies, a high of 77.1 and a colder morning low of 52.1, with precipitation still at zero. Anyone planning the weekend around Friday's weather is working with the best of it.
The weekend turn still arrives Saturday, but its edges softened overnight. Saturday brings rain (code 61) and a high of only 65.7 degrees with a low of 57.2 — and the precipitation chance has been trimmed to 22 percent, down from the 33 percent in the early file. Sunday stays the unsettled day: drizzle, a high of 67.7, a low of 56.5 and the week's highest precipitation chance at 58 percent.
Monday holds at 62.8 with its chance raised to 31 percent, Tuesday is overcast and essentially dry at 64.1, and by next Wednesday the feed has Austin recovering to 73.5. For Thursday itself, the plan is the simple one the last three files have carried: sunshine from the 58.4-degree start to the 79.1-degree afternoon, one more dry and warm Friday, and then the rain — a little less certain than it looked at 3 a.m., but still on schedule for Saturday.
