Monday morning, February 2, 2026, is starting on the chilly side across Austin, with readings near 37°F and muggy low-level air that could squeeze out pockets of fog. Sunshine is expected to take over and bump afternoon highs into the upper 60s, with a high near 69°F and southwest winds that could gust up to 25 mph later today.
Afternoon Winds Pick Up
The National Weather Service is calling for southwest winds generally 0–10 mph, with gusts up to 25 mph this afternoon in more exposed spots. Drivers should be ready for sudden crosswinds on bridges and open roads, and it is a good idea to secure lightweight patio furniture and use extra caution if you are cycling or driving over elevated or wide-open stretches.
Foggy Mornings, Low Rain Chance Tuesday
Tonight looks mostly cloudy with a low near 57°F and south winds around 5 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. As dewpoints rise, patchy to locally dense fog could develop before dawn on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, and may slow the morning commute. A weak front moves through Tuesday night into early Wednesday, bringing a cooler low near 43°F on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, while rain chances stay limited and mainly focused east of I‑35.
Weekend Warm‑Up
High temperatures return to more seasonable levels by midweek, with mid-60s on Wednesday, then climb into the mid-70s by Friday and through the weekend. Parts of the metro may flirt with the upper-70s. There are no watches or warnings in effect at the moment, so outdoor plans look good overall, aside from some brief gusty periods and early morning fog.
Local Resources
The city activated cold-weather sheltering during last week’s freeze, and resource information is still available in case conditions take another turn; check the City of Austin emergency page for details. Overnight shelter registration was held at One Texas Center (505 Barton Springs Rd), and daytime warming centers included Central Library (710 W. Cesar Chavez St.).
Bottom line: expect a mild, breezy Monday, patchy fog that could slow early commutes through Tuesday morning, a cooler Wednesday, and a warm, almost springlike weekend. If you have early plans on Tuesday, keep an eye on updated forecasts, and go ahead and secure any outdoor items ahead of the afternoon gusts.
