The weather in Austin today leans towards the cooler side, with mostly cloudy skies gradually clearing to bring forth sunshine. According to the National Weather Service, the city can expect a high near 69 degrees, with the north wind blowing at 10 to 15 mph—gusts potentially reaching up to 25 mph. As the day progresses, the overcast conditions are set to slowly give way to clearer skies.
Tonight, the temperatures are to dip around a low of 40 degrees, while the north wind is expected to continue blowing at a slightly lesser intensity of 5 to 10 mph. Gusts might still reach up to 25 mph. In a rhythm that seems almost to deliberately defy, Austin will experience calm clear nights following into Thursday and Friday, with lows hovering in the low 40s and high 30s, respectively. It's an invitation for residents to perhaps add an extra blanket or two as they slumber.
Looking ahead, the rest of the week is forecasted to offer generous sunshine with daytime temperatures consistently hitting the mid-60s. Thursday's high is pegged near 67 with minimal wind, while Friday should be similar, having a high near 66 with gentle north northeast winds coming into play in the morning. The consistent weather pattern provides a stretch of predictability amidst our often tumultuous climate.
Over the weekend, Austin is to continue enjoying clear and sunny conditions. Saturday's high is projected to be near 63, followed by a more slightly elevated high near 66 on Sunday. Calm winds will accompany the sunny days, becoming southeast at about 5 mph in the afternoons. After the sun sets on Sunday, though, cloud cover is likely to increase, setting the city up for a mostly cloudy Monday night with lows reaching down to around 57. The week is set to start off warmer on Monday with the high near 72, while Tuesday brings a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms and a high creeping up near 75.
