AUSTIN (KXAN) — For some, the day dawned sunny. For some, the day started with clouds and fog. Higher dew points and light wind contributed to fog over eastern Williamson and northeast Travis Counties eastward.
Minimum temperatures fell to 39° at Llano to 40s and 50s elsewhere. Most of the 40s were in the Hill Country. Low to mid 50s were reported along I-35, including 52°, and mid to upper 50s in the eastern counties.
These numbers may be lower approaching midnight thanks to today’s cold front.
A dry cold front is moving through Central Texas this morning leaving a strong northwest to north wind. Wind will get as high as 20 to 30+ mph especially this afternoon.
High temperatures reached the 70s Saturday afternoon. Most highs today will peak in the mid to upper 60s with a few cities south to southeast of Austin rising to the low 70s.
Overnight lows will be cold as temperatures drop to the 30s in most of the area. Monday will be much cooler because of the cold start with most high temperatures rising only to a range of mid 50s to low 60s.
After another cold start Tuesday, with most lows again in the 30s, highs return to the mid to upper 60s to some low 70s.
Further warming results in highs Wednesday reaching the mid to upper 70s, then many around 80° Thursday.
The next cold front moves south late Thursday night leading to a cooler end to the week with highs back down to the mid to upper 50s to low 60s.
Next weekend will be cold. Lows both Saturday and Sunday mornings will drop to the low to mid 30s. Highs Saturday will reach the low to mid 50s, then warm to the mid to upper 50s Sunday.
