Austin residents are in for a mix of sun and potential showers as the weather takes a slight turn midweek, with temperatures remaining cooler than average today. According to the National Weather Service, today's forecast includes sunny skies with a high near 68 and a modest north wind of 5 to 10 mph. Tonight, the skies will be mostly clear with a low around 47 degrees.

The expectations for Wednesday hint at a change, as there's a 30% chance of afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms, potentially hitting Austin with high temperatures creeping to near 73. "A quick-hitting disturbance bringing spotty to scattered storms Wednesday afternoon and evening," reports KXAN, with the north wind taking a lighter southwest turn. For those outdoors, it’s important to prepare for, suddenly changing weather conditions.

KXAN also notes a "low risk of strong to severe storms" in the northern counties come Wednesday afternoon, with the possibility of large hail and destructive winds thrown into the mix. Not all areas will experience the downpour, but those that do might see a significant amount of rainfall.

Looking towards the weekend, the forecast is more promising for those with outdoor plans for Good Friday and Easter. Temperatures are set to rise to the 80s, and while humidity is on the menu, rain isn't. "Afternoon highs will warm to the 80s both Saturday and Sunday with muggy to humid conditions," KXAN predicts. Easter Sunday itself will see a mostly cloudy sky, with a breeze and mild temperatures in the morning, which could pave the way for, some early fog patches.
