Austin Heat, Highs in 90s with Sun, Wind, and Weekend Storm Chances

According to National Weather Service reports, Austin will feel like summer on Monday, with temperatures rising to 93°F and clear skies. The rapid rise in temperature from a low of 66°F in the morning is paired with a strong south wind of 10 to 15 mph, with gusts that could reach 30 mph. This is a reminder of how unpredictable the weather is in Texas.

As night fell, clouds slowly moved in, bringing a mild low of about 62°F. The south wind will still blow at 5 to 15 mph, with gusts of up to 30 mph. With 81% humidity, the air may feel sticky for people who walk or eat outside late at night.

Looking ahead, the sun will still be the most important thing until Wednesday. It was mostly sunny on Monday, with a high of 91°F and light winds. A slight cooldown will bring a high of 85°F and a soft northeast breeze on Tuesday. By Wednesday, it will be 88°F with mostly sunny skies. In the afternoon, breezes from the south will pick up.

Most nights this week will be cloudy, but the low 60s will keep you warm. Thursday is another warm day; the temperature will rise to 91°F, and there will be sunshine.

However, things are about to change. Thursday night will be cloudy, with a low of around 68°F. The next few days, there will be a higher chance of rain. There is a 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms on Friday night. By Saturday, that chance will have grown to 30%.

Even though the week starts with clear blue skies and warm weather, people in Austin should remember to keep their umbrellas close by because the weather in Texas can change quickly.
