Todays weather in Austin - Thursday - 28 May 2026

Austin wakes up Thursday wrapped in dense fog and a cool 66°F, but the murk burns off by mid-morning to reveal a genuinely pleasant afternoon — sunny skies, a high near 91°F, and a light west-southwest breeze. Dress in layers for the foggy commute; by lunch, short sleeves are all you need. Tonight stays mostly clear with a low around 71°F and no rain in the picture.The bigger story is what comes next. A slow, steady heat ramp builds through the weekend: 92°F Friday, 93°F Saturday, 94°F Sunday, and close to 95°F Monday. Rain chances through the weekend hover at just one or two percent — meaning no relief whatsoever from the heat until early next week.The first crack in the pattern arrives Monday night, when a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms edges in. By Tuesday that storm chance climbs to 35 percent — not a guarantee, but the most meaningful break in the dry stretch all week. Wednesday pulls back to around 90°F with only a slight storm chance lingering.No active weather alerts are in effect right now — no heat advisory, no warnings. Even so, if you're planning outdoor time this weekend, the advice is simple: start early, hydrate more than you think you need to, and find shade before the afternoon peak heat sets in.This episode was produced using AI technology.
