Austin residents are set to experience a mixed bag of weather conditions this week, according to the latest forecasts. While today boasts a sunny sky with temperatures climbing to a comfortable 84 degrees, the Northeast wind could kick up a bit, gusting as high as 20 mph, per the National Weather Service. The evening will tame the gusts, with partly cloudy skies and a whisper of cooler air dropping down to a low of 66.

Moving into the weekend, Austin's weather narrative takes a moody turn. Despite the low chance for a stray storm today, as the mercury dips marginally Saturday to a high of 83 under partly sunny skies, Mother's Day weekend promises a more dramatic shift. The aforementioned front, taking the humidity and heat out the night before, may very well usher in stormy conditions in the coming days, with rain chances surging to 80% on Mother’s Day, according to KXAN.

Early risers on Sunday are forewarned to expect showers and possibly a thunderstorm before the day peaks at 4 pm, followed by an increased likelihood of showers and thunderstorms post 4 pm. The National Weather Service cites a robust 70% chance of precipitation for the day. Sunday night won't offer much respite, with reoccurring showers and thunderstorms likely, particularly before 7 pm.

Looking ahead into next week, the forecast hints at unpredictability with a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms on both Monday night and Wednesday night. After a partly sunny start to the week, temperatures are expected to hover in the mid-80s, potentially inching up to 88 by Tuesday, before another round of potential storms arrives by midweek, keeping Austin's emergency services on their toes. This comes after supercells recently left their mark, dropping massive hail in Central Texas, leaving San Marco's tornado-warned storm to wonder whether a twister had made its way through the city.
