The National Weather Service forecasts a series of sunny days ahead for Austin with temperatures consistently hovering around the high 80s to low 90s; today's expected high is near 89 degrees under mostly sunny skies, with winds staying calm and transitioning to a southeast direction at about 5 mph as the afternoon wanes.
As the sun sets and Austin's bustling streets begin to cool, the clear skies will persist, setting up a tranquil night with a low around 66 and the calming southeast winds becoming a gentle whisper after midnight; looking ahead, Friday will see a similar climb with temperatures reaching a high near 91, the calm wind once again shifting south southeast nearing 5 mph when the day peaks.
Citizens planning their weekends under the warm Texan sun can expect to bask in more of the same: Saturday's projections promise mostly sunny conditions and a temperature cresting at a warm 94 degrees, with a consistent south wind movement around 5 mph, then trending clear into the evening as the low dips to about 69. Sunday is slated to shine brightly with a high near 89 degrees with a north northeast wind picking up the pace, gusting at times up to 20 mph, transitioning into a cooler night with a low close to 65.
Into the new week, Monday maintains the sunny disposition with a high near 93, and those gentle south winds returning, flowing stronger at times garnering gusts as high as 20 mph before easing into a mostly clear night with the mercury settling around 71; this straightforward weather pattern extends into Tuesday, promising mostly sunny skies with a high again near 89, and as the hours stretch into night, the temperatures are forecasted to lower comfortably to around 62.
By Wednesday, though, Austinites may spot some clouds on the horizon as there's a slight 20 percent chance of showers dotting an otherwise sunny day with highs down near 85, according to the detailed forecast on the National Weather Service website.
