Austin starts Saturday with clear skies and temperatures in the mid-70s, but the relief will be short-lived. Sunshine will drive the city to around 100 degrees by afternoon, with heat index values reaching roughly 104.
Triple-Digit Heat Holds Through The Weekend
Saturday and Sunday will bring mostly sunny skies, light south to southeast winds and virtually no chance of rain. The forecast calls for another high near 100 on Sunday, followed by a high around 99 on Monday and more 100-degree afternoons Tuesday and Wednesday.
The National Weather Service says hot, dry weather is returning across Central Texas after Friday's storms moved out. No watches, warnings or advisories are currently listed, but the combination of extreme heat and limited breeze will still make prolonged outdoor activity risky.
Small Rain Chance Finally Returns Thursday Night
A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms appears Thursday evening, but the odds remain low at about 20 percent. Friday is expected to turn sunny again with a high near 101, meaning any storm relief would likely be brief and highly localized.
The extended outlook updates Friday's Hoodline forecast by showing the triple-digit pattern persisting well into next week. Residents planning outdoor work, exercise or weekend events should aim for the cooler morning hours, drink plenty of water and take regular breaks in air conditioning or shade.
