Summer-like Heat, Cold Front Next Thursday

Today's Discussion:
Much above normal temperatures. After starting the day at a mild 71°F, afternoon sunshine and southerly winds allowed for the high to top out at 91°F this afternoon at Camp Mabry in Austin. Today’s recorded high was not all that far away from today’s record high temperature of 95°F set just last year. Normal for this time of year is closer to 82°F.

October Heat:
Summer-like conditions and temperatures are forecast to persist through Wednesday of next week ahead of the arrival of our next cold front set to move through the area on Thursday. Afternoon highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s with overnight lows near 70°F. Late night/morning clouds will give way to partly cloudy afternoons through the middle of next week.

Rain Chances:
Slight rain chances enter the forecast as early as Wednesday and persist through Thursday afternoon for the region as the cold front approaches and moves through the area. Significant rainfall is not likely with this next cold front.

Forecast Rainfall Accumulation: [over the next 7 days]


Beautiful Formula One Weekend:
Beautiful fall weather (significantly cooler & drier air) will infiltrate the area behind Thursday’s cold frontal passage and set us up for what looks to be an absolutely stellar Formula One Weekend with afternoon highs in the 70s and overnight lows in the 40s & 50s…it is going to feel great! Other than some passing high-level clouds from time to time, skies will be mainly sunny/clear.
