Since Thursday, some spots in the Austin metro area have picked up half of their typical monthly rainfall, while other communities in the Hill Country have received between 3 and 6 inches.<\/p>\n
But October also is one of our wettest months of the year. Austin averages 3.91 inches of rain in October, second only to May, which averages about 5 inches.<\/p>\n
While the deep tropical air mass will shift into Southeast Texas, we could still see some spotty rain on Sunday. The best chance will be during the first half of the day before dry air moves in from the northwest and helps clear some of the clouds during the afternoon.<\/p>\n
Temperatures will be cooler than normal, with afternoon highs in the upper 70s and lower 80s. After last month\u2019s extreme heat, those numbers are going to feel downright cool\u00a0\u2014 at least by Texas standards.<\/p>\n
And if you don\u2019t get any showers, Sunday might just be the perfect excuse to visit a local pumpkin patch and grab a hot beverage while you\u2019re there.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yes, Central Texas will see a gradual warming trend as drier air continues to take over the Lone Star State. However, it won\u2019t be until midweek that temperatures climb back to our early-October average high of 87 degrees, with afternoons potentially a degree or two warmer by the end of the week.<\/p>\n
Winds will maintain a north to northeasterly flow through the week, with light to moderate wind speeds.<\/p>\n
Luckily, it looks like the wet weather will continue and off through the middle of the month.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The latest long-range outlooks from the National Weather Service\u2019s Climate Prediction Center calls for wetter weather with above-normal rainfall across Central and South Texas. Unfortunately, it\u2019s also forecasting for warmer, above-normal temperatures.<\/p>\n
It would be easy to get used to the rainy weather and cooler temperatures we\u2019ve enjoyed over the last few days, but don\u2019t get too comfortable just yet. We\u2019ll likely see a return to warmer weather, with a few 90-degree days possible in Austin over the next couple of weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Since Thursday, some spots in the Austin metro area have picked up half of their typical monthly rainfall,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":456132,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133],"class_list":["post-456131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-austin","tag-austin","tag-austin-headlines","tag-austin-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=456131"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456131\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/456132"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=456131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=456131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=456131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
