Austin residents can expect a variety of weather conditions in the upcoming week, starting with today's mostly cloudy skies eventually giving way to sunshine and a high near 86 degrees, as per the National Weather Service's latest update. Gusts could reach as high as 20 mph on this breezy day, while humidity lingers around 87%. As the day progresses, the south wind should remain at a gentle 5 to 10 mph pace, setting a rather temperate scene for outdoor activities or any routine errands one might have on the agenda.
But as the sun dips below the horizon, the clouds are slated to make a comeback, bringing the low to around 67 degrees; the wind is taking a page from the day's earlier conditions, maintaining a south-southeast direction at a mild 5 to 10 mph. Tomorrow might bring a slight shift in this pattern with a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms peppering what will start out cloudy, then gradually roll back into mostly sunny skies, reaching a high around 85, with a relatively unmoved south wind continuing at approximately 5 mph.Looking ahead to Sunday night, things seem poised to calm down a bit with partly cloudy skies and a low hovering around 61 degrees; and then for Monday, residents can anticipate mostly sunny weather, a high near 79, and a north-northwest wind growing to 5 to 10 mph in the morning hours.
The evening is expected to remain mostly clear with a dip in the temperature to a low of about 52 degrees, according to National Weather Service data.The rest of the week promises a mix of sunshine and clouds with temperatures flirting with the higher 80s, peaking at 91 degrees on Wednesday before isolated showers and thunderstorms possibly roll through on Thursday and Friday with each day holding a 20 and 40 percent chance of precipitation, respectively. The winds could show a bit of gusto, particularly on Tuesday and Tuesday night, where they might pick up to 10 to 15 mph and gusts potentially hitting 25 mph, which might prompt locals to secure their patio furniture and take caution while driving high-profile vehicles.
