Austin is getting one more mild, mostly pleasant Saturday before a wetter, stormier pattern takes over. The city is expected to be mostly cloudy Saturday with east winds, and afternoon highs should reach around 69 before a slight chance of showers arrives after 3 p.m.

Rain Arrives Saturday Night

Rain chances rise quickly after sunset, with showers likely Saturday night and thunderstorms possible later. The low should settle near 55 degrees, while southeast winds of 10 to 15 mph could gust as high as 30 mph; rainfall totals are not expected to cause significant impacts, according to the National Weather Service.

Sunday Looks Like The Stormiest Day

Sunday brings a 90% chance of showers and thunderstorms, mostly cloudy skies and a high near 64 degrees. Stronger storms are more possible toward the Coastal Plains, while Austin's main concerns are heavy downpours, gusty winds and wet roads; no watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the city.

Hoodline's November 6 outlook covered November 7–8, not November 14–15; the storm chance now looks most substantial from Saturday night through Sunday. Saturday morning and early afternoon remain the best window for outdoor plans before clouds and rain move in.

Cooler, Drier Air Follows

Showers should taper Sunday night. Dry weather returns Monday and continues through Wednesday. Monday stays mostly cloudy with a high near 57; Tuesday is expected to be partly cloudy with a high near 63, followed by skies becoming mostly cloudy Wednesday with a high near 67.

Moisture returns later in the week, bringing another chance of showers Thursday and Friday as highs rebound into the low-to-mid 70s. For now, keep the umbrella close this weekend and expect the biggest weather whiplash between Saturday's mild afternoon and Sunday's gray, stormy setup.
