Austin residents can expect a swing of weather conditions throughout the week, according to the latest forecast. As the clouds gather overhead, a mostly sunny prediction today turns, with a high near 79 degrees, to a potential thundery crescendo by week's end. This latest weather update, provided by NOAA's National Weather Service, offers a detailed day-by-day breakdown for Austin's weather-watchers.
Drifting into tonight, the sky will segue into a partly cloudy curtain with a calming low around 58. However, gusts could rear up as high as 30 mph Tuesday, as a mostly cloudy narrative unfolds and temperatures climb to the mid-80s. Tuesday night won't see much relief from the robust wind, with similar conditions expected to persist.
The thermometer's stubborn climb continues through Wednesday, with an expected high reaching a near mid-90s peak under partly sunny skies. Yet, by Wednesday night, the air cools slightly, stabilizing around 70 degrees. The foreboding clouds will once again gather, signaling a propitious turn in the week's weather storyline.
Casting eyes toward Thursday, the day brings a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, an interlude before the rain's main act on Friday. When showers are likely and a possible thunderstorm before 1pm, a distinguishing note in this symphony of weather, a mostly cloudy ambiance ushers in with a high near 88. These conditions are set to persist into Saturday, with 60 percent chances of precipitation making their mark throughout the day and into the early hours of the night.
As the weekend draws to a close, the likelihood of showers and thunderstorms diminishes, gifting Austin a partly sunny Sunday with a cooler high near 67 degrees. While the chance of rain might be a modest 20 percent, it remains a vestige of the week's earlier tempestuous mood.
