Austin is getting an early spring preview, with clear skies Friday morning setting the stage for an afternoon warmup that should push temperatures close to 81°F. With plenty of sunshine and just a light northwest breeze, it will feel like classic patio weather across town.
Afternoon Heat, Light Winds
On Friday, Feb. 6, expect sunny skies with a high near 81°F and light northwest winds around 0 to 5 mph. Winds will stay calm into the night as temperatures slip to around 48°F. According to the National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio, the dry pattern should hold through the weekend, with low to medium rain chances returning Monday into Tuesday, Feb. 9–10.
Weekend Into Next Week
Saturday keeps the early spring vibe going with more sunshine and highs near 79°F. Sunday brings a mix of sun and clouds with highs around 76°F. Longer-range guidance points to this warmer pattern hanging on beyond midweek, keeping readings above seasonal norms, as reported by the San Antonio Express-News.
What This Means For Plans
Plan on light-jacket mornings and shorts-and-T-shirt afternoons. If you will be outside around midday, sunscreen is a smart move. Most outdoor events through Sunday should have the weather on their side, although anyone with plans Monday night will want to check updated forecasts before heading out.
