The fair skies over Austin are expected to remain clear for the stretch of the evening, with temperatures dipping to around 33 degrees, as per the latest forecast from the National Weather Service. The current conditions in the capital feature a comfortable 51°F with a south southwest wind traveling at a modest 5 to 10 mph.

As the weekend approaches, however, Austinites should prepare to gradually adjust their plans. The weather forecast indicates an increase in cloud coverage on Saturday, with the mercury hovering around 59°F. Moreover, there's a calm wind set to gradually become a south southeast breeze at about 5 mph. The evening promises to bring more change, introducing a 60 percent chance of precipitation, which means showers are likely, and there could potentially even be a thunderstorm after midnight.

The unpredictable weather is to maintain its grip through Sunday, with a chance of showers and thunderstorms primarily before noon and then a slight chance later in the afternoon. The forecast, found on the National Weather Service website, highlights the impending cloudiness and cooler high near 56°F. Winds from the north at 5 to 10 mph will accompany the 50 percent chance of precipitation. Sunday night will close with a reduced 20 percent chance of showers before midnight and lows around 45°F.

The new week is to still see the skies mostly clouded over, albeit with a negligible likelihood of rain during the day. Monday's forecast predicts mostly cloudy conditions, with a daytime high near 59°F and the north northeast wind staying gentle at around 5 mph. However, as the week progresses, the probability of rainfall increases once again.
