Austin residents can expect varied weather conditions throughout the week with chances of showers, overcast skies, and potential sunshine peeking through by the weekend. The National Weather Service reports today's high touching upon a moderate 53 degrees amid cloudy skies, accompanied by a slight chance of showers in the afternoon and patchy drizzle ceasing before noon.

Tonight, weather forecasts predict a 50% chance of rainfall between 9pm and 3am, transforming into possible showers and thunderstorms afterward. Temperatures will hover around 54 degrees, fostering conditions for patchy fog to set in after 2am. Amid all this, an increased wind activity is not anticipated, with the northeast wind staying near a calm 5 mph.

Looking ahead to Tuesday, the likelihood of precipitation climbs to 80%, bringing consistent showers and potential thunderstorms from morning through the night. Preceding the rain, limited visibility might be a concern with patchy fog forecasted to hang around until the afternoon. Once the fog lifts, the high for the day is anticipated to be a slightly warmer 64 degrees.

On Wednesday, the chance of precipitation drops significantly to 30%, with showers mainly expected before noon. Following the wet start, the skies are set to clear, revealing mostly sunny vistas and a high peaking at a comfortable 77 degrees. However, the conditions shift again Wednesday night, as the temperatures take a steep dip to an estimated low of 36 degrees—ultimately setting the stage for a cooler end to the week.

As the week progresses toward the weekend, Austin's temperatures make gradual recoveries. Partly sunny days will grace Thursday and Friday with highs around 51 and 62 degrees, respectively. The weekend's outlook seems brighter still, with only a 20% chance of showers on Saturday, and Sunday's forecast promises sunny skies and a high of 56.
