Austin is waking up to clear skies and upper-60s air Thursday, but the easy morning will give way to a sunny afternoon near 91 degrees. Rain is essentially off the table today, and the same dry pattern is set to keep rolling through the weekend.
Sunshine And Low Humidity Take Over Thursday
The National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio office forecasts light east/northeast winds, mostly sunny skies and a high near 90 Thursday, followed by a mostly clear night with a low around 68. Friday looks nearly identical but a little hotter, reaching about 91 with no meaningful rain chance, according to the National Weather Service.
Weekend Plans Get A Clear Runway
Saturday stays sunny and hot for October, with a high near 88 and a low around 69 Saturday night. Sunday should reach about 90 under mostly sunny skies.
The latest outlook is a warmer update to Wednesday’s Hoodline forecast, which had called for upper-80s to around 90 through Sunday. For Austin, the practical takeaway is simple: outdoor plans have a long stretch of dry weather, but the afternoon sun will still feel more like late summer than fall.
Small Rain Chances Return Next Week
Humidity begins creeping back Sunday as winds turn southerly, and Monday and Tuesday bring mostly sunny skies with highs near 91 and 92. Rain chances remain low early next week, so a shower is possible but not the headline; Wednesday stays mostly sunny near 90 with a bit more wind.
No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for the Austin area in the current forecast. If you are heading out during the warmest part of the day, plan for sun, carry water and save the heaviest exertion for morning or evening.
