Austin started Thursday, May 28, 2026, under a hazy curtain of patchy fog and mid-60s temperatures, but the cool, gray vibe will not last long. Forecasters expect the fog to burn off by mid-morning, clearing the way for sunshine and a high near 91°F. With light winds and quiet skies, heat, not storms, is set to dominate the rest of the workweek.
Foggy Start, Sun-Soaked Afternoons
Patchy fog should hang around through about 10 a.m., then skies are expected to clear and send afternoon temperatures into the low 90s. Most of the day looks calm, with west-southwest winds around 0-5 mph and an overnight low near 71°F. No watches or warnings are in effect, according to the National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio.
Plan Your Commute And Outdoor Time
If you are out early, take it easy on the roads where fog trims visibility. Use low beams, give yourself extra space, and build in a little cushion for the Thursday commute. Afternoon outdoor plans should be in good shape, but it will be toasty, so bring water and find shade as readings climb into the 90s. Travelers headed to Austin–Bergstrom for morning flights may want to leave a bit early to account for the murk.
Weekend Into Next Week
The heat sticks around. Friday, May 29, 2026, through the weekend is expected to feature highs in the low to mid 90s, edging up to around 95°F by Monday, June 1, 2026. A few weak disturbances could introduce a low chance of showers and widely scattered thunderstorms from late Sunday night into early next week. The best chance arrives Tuesday, June 2, with around a 40% shot at afternoon storms, according to local forecast guidance from the National Weather Service.
Heat Resources
There are no heat advisories posted today, but the city does have options if this warm stretch ramps up. Parks and public libraries can serve as informal cooling centers during normal operating hours. Check the City of Austin for locations and hours before you head out.
