Dense Fog Advisory in Austin Until 10 AM; Relief Expected With Clear Weekend Weather

As Austin braces for a foggy morning, the National Weather Service warns commuters of low visibility potentially complicating their morning routines. "Patchy to areas of dense fog will continue to overspread much of South Central Texas through this morning bringing visibility to 1/4 mile or less," a Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect until 10 AM for the majority of the area. The foggy conditions pose a hazard, especially on roadways in the region, but relief is in sight as the advisory is set to expire in the latter part of the morning.

Today's weather in Austin holds onto a slight 30 percent chance of showers after 3 pm, while most of the day will stay mostly cloudy with highs around 61 degrees. Winds, calm initially, will become easterly near 5 mph in the morning. The evening outlook shows a continued 20 percent chance of showers before midnight, followed by some patchy fog. The nighttime sky will mostly be cloudy with lows dipping to around 50 degrees, as reported by the National Weather Service.

Taking a peek into the weekend, Austin can expect drier conditions and more sunshine. According to KXAN, "A cold front will roll through late tonight, pushing out all the humidity and moisture." The transition will lead to clearer skies and marks the end of what's been an exceptionally soggy January, with Austin having endured its fifth-wettest start to the year on record.

Looking ahead, the forecast becomes considerably brighter. Saturday promises partly sunny weather with highs around 60 and brisk winds from the northnorthwest. By Sunday, Austin will bask in full sunlight and temperatures close to 62 degrees. The upward trend continues early next week, with Monday and Tuesday's weather forecast to be mostly sunny, as highs climb to the mid and upper 60s, ushering in a much-needed respite after a wet January, the National Weather Service indicates.
