Monday morning in Austin is starting off cool and clear, with mid-morning temperatures holding near 54°F and a light north breeze. Skies are expected to turn mostly sunny through the afternoon, with highs topping out around 74°F for a prime-time commute and lunchtime outside. After sunset, readings slip back into the low 50s, so a light jacket is still a smart move for evening plans.
Afternoon and Tonight
Quiet weather rules the afternoon, with north to north-northeast winds around 5 mph and little to no chance of measurable rain. Most neighborhoods should see plenty of sunshine and highs in the lower to mid-70s, then a cool-down into the upper 40s to low 50s overnight. For hour-by-hour numbers and location-specific details, check the National Weather Service.
Midweek
A weak disturbance moves through on Tuesday with increasing clouds and only a small chance of a sprinkle for parts of the Hill Country; daytime highs should stay near 75°F. By Wednesday and Thursday, temperatures climb back into the upper 70s and low 80s with light east-southeast winds, and no widespread impacts are expected during that stretch. Overnight lows generally hold in the 50s, running a bit warmer near and south of I-35.
Weekend Outlook
The pattern turns more active late in the week as a stronger system approaches, and the National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio indicates scattered showers and thunderstorms are increasingly likely Friday into the weekend. Office forecasters note ensemble guidance shows elevated probabilities for heavier rainfall, with some areas potentially seeing storm totals exceeding an inch, so outdoor events on Saturday and Sunday may run into some wet windows; see the office discussion for details. National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio remains the key source for evolving timing and any watches or warnings.
What To Do
Enjoy today while you can — it is an easy win for errands, patios, and light outdoor plans — but have a backup option ready for any big weekend gatherings. If you are traveling, keep an eye on forecast updates later in the week and be ready to shift sensitive outdoor plans indoors Saturday or Sunday if rain chances continue to rise. Local flyers should also monitor terminal forecasts and airline alerts for any schedule changes as storm chances ramp up.
