Austin, TX – Areas of fog are expected to develop across the Coastal Plains early Monday, potentially affecting morning travel before lifting by mid-morning.
According to the National Weather Service Austin–San Antonio, fog is forecast to form during the early morning hours and gradually lift by around 9 a.m. Monday. The fog may reduce visibility in spots, particularly in low-lying areas and along major travel corridors.
Roadways including I-35, I-10, I-37, and US-281 may see brief periods of reduced visibility during the morning commute, especially across the Coastal Plains and nearby counties. Drivers are urged to slow down, use low-beam headlights, and allow extra stopping distance where fog is present.
Outside of the fog, skies are expected to be partly cloudy, with warm temperatures returning by late morning and afternoon. Forecast highs across Central and South-Central Texas are expected to reach the lower to mid-80s, including areas around Austin, San Antonio, and surrounding communities.
The National Weather Service notes that warm conditions are expected to continue through the week. While no rain is expected Monday, rain chances return mid to late week, with the best opportunities currently indicated later Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. No rainfall amounts were specified in the update.
Morning lows across the region range mainly through the 50s, allowing fog formation where moisture is present. As temperatures rise quickly after sunrise, fog coverage is expected to diminish.
Commuters, students, and early-morning workers may notice rapidly changing conditions, with foggy starts giving way to warm and dry afternoons.
Residents are encouraged to monitor local forecasts for updates on fog development and later-week rain chances as conditions evolve across Central and South Texas.
