Austin is set to experience a mix of cloudy skies and mild temperatures as the week progresses, with conditions starting off partly sunny today and a high approaching the 80-degree mark. Gusts of wind could reach up to 20 mph, according to the National Weather Service. This evening, locals should anticipate increasing clouds with a low of around 66 degrees, while the wind continues to blow from the south at a similar pace.
The forecast for Sunday doesn't notably differ, with overcast skies prevailing and a high again near 79 degrees. However, Sunday night could see a 30 percent chance of showers before midnight. The temperatures are expected to, quite dramatically, drop to a low around 42 as the wind shifts from south southwest to north after evening hours. This transition to cooler weather is set to precede a noticeably chillier Monday, with highs estimated to be near the 51-degree mark and the potential for northern gusts as high as 35 mph.
Residents can expect the early part of the week to remain mostly cloudy, with Monday night temperatures dipping close to 38 degrees. Tuesday’s weather offers a partial reprieve from the clouds with some sun and highs around 54 degrees, and gentle winds predicted to calm by afternoon. The temperate climate is forecasted to gradually recover midweek as Wednesday boasts mostly sunny weather with highs estimated at 61 degrees, according to information from the National Weather Service.
As Austin residents prepare to welcome in the New Year, the city can expect partly sunny skies on New Year's Day with an optimistic high nearing 69 degrees. The rest of the week seems to consistently maintain a theme of cloudiness and mild temperatures with highs hovering around the same figure. The lows for Thursday and Wednesday night will likely be about 50 and 41 degrees, respectively, setting the stage for a New Year celebration characterized by pleasant, if not particularly clear, night skies.
