Austin is waking up to clear skies and mild air Wednesday, with temperatures near 67 degrees early and a sunny climb to 88. The forecast stays dry through the weekend, setting up several easy outdoor days before small rain chances return next week.

Sunny Stretch Runs Through Sunday

Wednesday will stay sunny with a light northeast breeze, while Wednesday night drops to about 67. Thursday should be nearly identical, topping out near 89 under sunny skies, and Friday and Saturday will reach around 88.

Sunday is currently the warmest day in the near-term forecast, with a high near 90 and mostly sunny skies. Winds remain generally light, although Friday could bring gusts as high as 20 mph — enough to fuss with a patio umbrella, but not enough to derail ordinary plans.

The National Weather Service in Austin/San Antonio says no hazard impacts are expected in South Central Texas from a developing Gulf tropical system, and no watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the area. For Austin, the practical takeaway is a quiet weather pattern rather than a tropical-weather plot twist.

Rain Chances Return Monday

The pattern turns slightly less predictable Monday, with low-end rain chances and possible convection.

For the rest of the week, plan on cool-ish mornings in the upper 60s and hot afternoons in the upper 80s to around 90. With dry conditions dominating through Sunday, Austin’s outdoor calendar gets a mostly clear runway before the small early-week rain chances arrive.
