Austin is waking up clear and warm Saturday, with temperatures around 77 degrees before a sunny afternoon pushes close to 100. Heat index values may rise above 100, making the hottest part of the day feel even tougher across the city. The forecast stays dry, and Sunday should be similarly hot.
Saturday Heat Builds Under Full Sun
The National Weather Service forecast calls for a high near 100 on Saturday, with east-southeasterly winds below 10 knots. Skies should remain sunny, and rain is not expected. Temperatures will climb through the 90s during the afternoon before peaking near 100.
Sunday Could Be The Weekend’s Hottest Day
Sunday is forecast to reach near 100, similar to Saturday. At Austin Camp Mabry, overnight lows are forecast at 75 degrees Saturday night and 76 degrees Sunday night; Austin-Bergstrom is forecast at 74 and 75 degrees, respectively. Highs remain in the mid to upper 90s through Friday.
Rain Chances Stay Low
Most of the next several days should remain dry, but a slight chance of showers or thunderstorms arrives during the workweek, with rain chances up to around 25% across parts of South Central Texas. A few isolated showers or storms could also develop Sunday night, mainly across parts of the Hill Country, though Austin’s chances remain minimal. No watches or warnings are listed for the area.
Plan Around The Hottest Hours
With little wind and several days near triple digits, outdoor plans will be most manageable in the morning or after sunset. Drink water regularly, take breaks in air conditioning or shade, and do not leave people or pets in parked cars. The warm nights matter, too: homes and bodies will have less time to cool down between hot afternoons.
