Austin residents can look forward to a stretch of sunny days with light breezes, according to a recent forecast update. With a 20 percent chance of rain and a high near 95 degrees, today's weather seems to be taking a slight detour from the consistent sunny pattern. The calm wind is expected to become east northeast around 5 mph as the day progresses, reports the National Weather Service.
This evening, the skies are expected to be mostly clear with a low around 69, and the east wind around 5 mph will likely become calm as night falls. The forthcoming weekend will continue to hold onto the sunny disposition, with Saturday matching up to high temperatures near 93 degrees. Sunday will not diverge much, promising a high again near 93 with the calm wind turning east in the morning.
Looking ahead to the start of next week, Monday's forecast includes mostly sunny skies and a high temperature closing in near 92 degrees. The wind, while remaining calm initially, will pick up to around 5 mph from the east in the afternoon. Nights are slated to be partly cloudy and mild, with low temperatures in the low 70s and a gentle east breeze that becomes calm by evening.
Tuesday offers a 20 percent chance of showers after 1 pm, but otherwise, it's anticipated to be mostly sunny with a high again hovering close to 92 degrees. The pattern is consistent: calm wind becomes east northeast at around 5 mph later in the day. Midweek predictions suggest a continuing trend, with Wednesday having a 20 percent chance of showers under sunny skies, and a high near 92, followed by a partly cloudy night and a low around 71.
The consistency in the forecast suggests Austin will be experiencing a spell of predictable, if somewhat monotonous, weather. With each day offering its own slight variations, residents might want to keep a light jacket and an umbrella close by, just in case those chances of showers decide to manifest.
