The National Weather Service has provided a detailed forecast for Austin, heralding a period of diverse weather conditions in the days to come. Cool and sunny days will make a sharp turn towards wetter, unpredictable weather patterns, according to the latest update . Sunny skies with a high near 47 degrees are expected today, accompanied by a north wind traveling at 10 to 15 mph and gusts that may reach as high as 25 mph.
Tonight's forecast suggests a mostly clear sky, with the temperature dropping to a low around 27. The clear conditions may deceive residents, who, leaving their homes without adequate preparation, will likely find themselves at the mercy of the wind chill factor, feeling more like 20 degrees. The subsequent forecast for Tuesday and Tuesday night maintains this sunny yet crisp narrative—hardly a whisper of the tumult to arrive midweek.
As we move into Wednesday, the outlook takes a turn with cloudy skies and a high near 40 degrees. Wind speeds will persist at 5 to 10 mph with the potential for gusts up to 20 mph. Wednesday night could see a slight chance of mixed precipitation, introducing rain showers and sleet with a 50 percent chance of occurrence before the night is over.
These conditions signal a shift that residents might need to monitor closely. The probability of showers heightens as we approach Thursday, with expectations set at about a 70 percent chance of precipitation. Visibility reduced by the downpour, drivers should exercise additional caution navigating the roads, as it could severely affect the routine commute.
Showers are likely to continue into Thursday night with similar odds of precipitation and a low hovering around 33 degrees. By Friday, the chance of showers drops to 20 percent before noon, leading to a mostly cloudy day with a high near 45 degrees. The National Weather Service suggests that the north wind will persist at 5 to 10 mph, potentially gusting up to 20 mph.
Looking towards the weekend, forecasts predict a partly sunny Saturday with highs around 54 degrees, though there's a slight chance of showers Saturday night and into Sunday.
