Tuesday starts sunny with a high near 89°F but afternoon showers and thunderstorms become possible by late in the day. Then Tuesday night the odds jump sharply — 84% chance of rain overnight heading into Wednesday. Wednesday arrives with widespread showers, thunderstorms, and a high near 84°F, a meaningful cooldown of around five degrees. Anyone with outdoor plans mid-week should build in flexibility now.Thursday eases and by Friday Austin returns to mostly sunny skies with a high near 92°F, summer reasserting itself quickly after the midweek washout.Bottom line: enjoy the holiday weekend fully — the weather is genuinely beautiful. Just keep one eye on Tuesday night, because Wednesday is coming in loud.This episode includes AI-generated content.
