Austin Weather Tuesday Evening: 66 Degrees and Clearing, Wednesday Warms to 75 — and Saturday Still Falls to 67.8

AUSTIN — The station's live feed at the 17:00 file on Tuesday reads 66.0 degrees, feeling like 68, under a mostly clear sky (weather code 2) — a genuine change from the 3 p.m. file, when the city sat at 65.6 under a full overcast (code 3). The day's high stands at 69.4 against a low of 58.3 still to come overnight, and Tuesday's own code is 51, light drizzle, with the precipitation chance at 15 percent.

The warm half of the week is unchanged in shape and slightly warmer in detail. Wednesday reaches 75.0 under an overcast sky (code 3), and its low has been raised to 59.0 from 57.6 in the afternoon file. Thursday is the week's clear day (code 0) at 78.7, with the week's coolest night, 51.4, and no rain chance; Friday holds at 78.9, also dry.

The weekend cool-down the afternoon feed introduced is still the story — and its edges firmed up this evening. Saturday's high stays cut to 67.8, down from 74.9 in the morning outlook, with rain showers (code 82) at a 27 percent chance. Sunday's drizzle day (code 51) holds at 64.6, but its rain chance has risen to 40 percent from 38, and Monday's drizzle chance rises to 28 percent from 20, at a high of 60.0.

For the evening drive: expect the clearing trend to hold through the commute, with temperatures easing from 66 toward the overnight low of 58.3. The Weather Desk's next file is the Wednesday 05:00 morning outlook.
