Tonight’s forecast anticipates a serene transition with increasing clouds and a low settling around 58 degrees. The tranquility of today is to gradually shift into a more textured Saturday morning.

However, this gray morning veil is predicted to quickly disperse, paving the way to a mostly sunny afternoon with highs flirting with 80 degrees once more. Light winds are to gently become more purposeful, gusting as high as 20 mph as the day unfolds.
As the weekend progresses, the outlook remains favorable for any post-holiday ventures. Sunday promises unblemished skies with a high teaing around 76 degrees, while the evening offers clarity and mild temperatures around 52. Southwesterly breezes will provide just the faintest of whispers through the calm. For those looking ahead to the onset of a new week, Monday is to mirror Sunday's pleasant disposition with sunny skies and highs reaching into the 80s, while winds maintain a consistent presence.
Residents preparing for the countdown to a new year can do so under the assurance of tranquil weather conditions. Tuesday's temps will dip slightly with a high of 66 degrees, and north winds are to once again remind us of their presence, punctuating the air with potential gusts up to 20 mph. The following evenings, including New Year's Day, are to hold a clear to partly cloudy embrace with lows hovering in the high 30s to low 40s. Consequently, the first day of the year is expected to greet Austinites with sunshine and a cooler high near 60 degrees, setting a refreshing tone for 2025.
