Austin starts Saturday, November 7, near 59 degrees under an extensive cloud deck as rain chances spread across South-Central Texas during the day. Temperatures should climb to around 74 under thickening clouds, with light rain possible after 3 p.m. The bigger shift arrives Saturday night, when showers and an isolated thunderstorm chance become more likely.
This is a wetter turn than the forecast Hoodline reported Friday. The National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio office now expects rain to spread across the area tonight, Sunday, and into Monday, with no watches, warnings, or advisories posted Saturday morning, according to the National Weather Service.
Saturday Starts Quiet, Then Rain Moves In
Saturday afternoon should stay mostly cloudy, with a 20% chance of precipitation as rain chances spread eastward through the day. North winds will remain light near 5 mph, while temperatures hover in the low 70s before rain chances rise after sunset.
Saturday night brings a 50% chance of rain, with showers and thunderstorms possible between 9 p.m. and midnight. Most rainfall should be light, but a few embedded storms could briefly produce heavier downpours.
Sunday Looks Like The Wettest Day
Sunday, November 8, is shaping up as the soggiest day of the stretch, with rain likely throughout the day, cloudy skies, and a high near 67 degrees. The forecast calls for a 100% chance of precipitation as steady rain spreads across the Austin area.
Forecasters expect widespread rainfall totals of 1 to 3 inches across the broader region through Monday, with isolated pockets of up to 5 inches possible where repeated showers line up. That means isolated flooding remains possible, especially in areas that receive heavier bursts or several rounds of rain.
Monday Stays Damp Before A Midweek Rebound
Rain is forecast to last into Monday, November 9, with highs in the low to mid-60s. Conditions should begin improving Monday night, although the forecast still allows for lingering showers before the system finally moves out.
Tuesday brings dry conditions and a high near 70 under partly sunny skies. Veterans Day could reach the low 70s, followed by a high near 77 on Thursday. Conditions should be mostly sunny Thursday and sunny Friday.
Outdoor Plans Get One Narrow Window
Saturday morning offers the best window for errands, patios, and outdoor plans before clouds and rain chances build. Anyone heading out Saturday evening through Monday should allow extra time on wet roads and stay alert for localized flooding, even though no formal weather alerts are currently posted.
