Austin is waking Wednesday to clear skies, dry air and temperatures in the low to mid-50s before the day warms quickly. The afternoon should be sunny and comfortable, with a high in the mid-70s and no rain in the forecast.

The calmer pattern follows Tuesday's stormy weather, with much lower humidity settling in across the city. Hoodline previously reported that the front would usher in a cooler, drier stretch for the middle of the week.

Sunny Wednesday Gives Way To A Warmer Thursday

Wednesday night will be clear, with temperatures falling to around 53 degrees. Thursday turns warmer, reaching 80 degrees, with scattered clouds forecast in parts of the area; the next weather shift arrives close to sunset.

Friday Brings Breezier, Cooler Conditions

North winds Thursday night could gust as high as 30 mph, followed by a partly cloudy Friday with highs from the mid-60s to mid-70s across the area. Northerly breezes are expected Friday, so outdoor plans could feel breezy.

Weekend Rain Chances Stay Small

Saturday looks partly sunny with a high near 69 degrees, with a 20% rain chance across South Central Texas, especially from midday Saturday to midday Sunday. Sunday turns partly sunny and cool, with a high near 67.

The NWS forecast describes a dry pattern through the week, with a possible weekend front. The Tuesday morning discussion listed no watches, warnings or advisories for the Austin area, according to the National Weather Service.
