Austin, TX – Morning fog, scattered showers, and the potential for isolated thunderstorms will shape the weather across Central Texas this week, impacting early commutes and outdoor plans. Drivers should exercise caution during dense fog in the early hours, as visibility could drop significantly before lifting later in the day.
According to the National Weather Service, Monday will start with a slight chance of drizzle, followed by isolated thunderstorms after midday. Highs will hover near 77°F, while light southeast winds could gust up to 20 mph. Tuesday brings a mix of partly sunny skies and minimal rain impacts, with temperatures cooling slightly to the mid-70s.
Fog will continue to pose safety concerns through the early mornings. Those traveling along major roadways, such as Interstate 35 and U.S. Route 290, should anticipate slow-moving traffic and limited visibility before fog clears late in the morning. By midweek, isolated storms return with Wednesday showing a 40% chance of showers and mild highs near 70°F.
Skies will gradually clear as the workweek closes, with Thursday and Friday seeing sunny conditions and cooler lows dipping into the 40s. However, gusty north winds on Wednesday night may reach 25 mph, signaling a shift toward drier and calmer weather.
Residents are encouraged to monitor forecasts and prepare for changing conditions. If traveling during foggy or rainy periods, reduce speed, use low-beam headlights, and maintain safe distances from other vehicles.
