Hey there, Austin. Hope your week is off to a good start. If you’ve been loving the kind of spring weather that makes you want to stay outside just a little longer, you’re in for a treat. This week’s forecast is looking warm, dry, and just about perfect for anything you’ve got planned. Let’s take a closer look.
Today’s Forecast: Mild and Cloudy, but Still Comfortable
We’re starting the day with temperatures around 68 degrees and mostly cloudy skies. There’s a soft breeze coming in from the south-southwest, so it’s a good day for a walk or a coffee run without breaking a sweat.
This afternoon, we’ll warm up to about 82 degrees. While the clouds may stick around, it’ll still feel nice and warm. Rain chances are extremely low—barely even worth mentioning—so no need to worry about any surprise showers. Tonight will stay pleasant with lows dipping to around 62 degrees.
Midweek Outlook: Sunshine and Rising Temps
As we move into midweek, the temperature starts to climb and the sun comes out in full force. Here’s what to expect:
-
Wednesday: Lots of sunshine with a high near 81. A great day to be outside.
-
Thursday: Even warmer with temperatures reaching 86. Perfect for outdoor plans or a patio lunch.
-
Friday: The warmest day of the week so far, topping out around 88. It’s going to feel like summer is just around the corner.
These next few days are ideal for getting outside, just be mindful of the heat if you’re going to be active during the peak afternoon hours.
Weekend Preview: Still Warm, Slight Chance of Rain
Looking ahead to the weekend, we’ll stay warm—hovering around 88 degrees both Saturday and Sunday. There’s a slight shift in the forecast with a small chance of rain creeping in, especially by Sunday.
-
Saturday: A low chance of light rain, but nothing that should interrupt your plans.
-
Sunday: Slightly better chance of showers, but still not looking like a washout. It’s worth checking back for updates if you have outdoor activities planned.
A Typical April in Austin
This is all pretty typical for April around here. On average, we see highs in the upper 70s to low 80s, and lows around 60. Rain is usually pretty scattered—maybe seven days of light showers throughout the month, totaling just under three inches.
So far, this week is lining up to be exactly what we’d expect, if not a little drier than usual.
