Austin\u2019s warm October<\/a> will continue early this week as highs climb into the mid-90s and heat index values top 100 degrees.<\/p>\n

Warm, humid air will keep Austin feeling more like mid-June through Wednesday, with only a few showers offering slight relief from the heat. A shift in the weather pattern later this week could offer the first real break from hot weather, though the forecast is still coming into focus.<\/p>\n

Monday\u2019s high is expected to reach the low to mid-90s<\/a>, with heat index values around 100 to 105 degrees. A few isolated showers or thunderstorms could develop, mainly along and east of Interstate\u00a035, but most areas should stay dry.<\/p>\n

The heat sticks around Tuesday and Wednesday. Highs may reach the mid-90s, while the combination of heat and humidity could push heat index values to as high as 108 degrees, possibly prompting heat advisories. Austin is past its hottest stretch of the year, but heat index values near 108 degrees can still take a toll, especially for anyone spending long stretches outside.<\/p>\n

A few briefly cooling downpours\u00a0are possible both days, with better chances well east of Austin toward the coast.<\/p>\n

Overnight lows will remain quite warm and humid through much of the week. Lows are only expected to drop into the low to mid-70s.<\/p>\n

Confidence is growing that cooler weather will arrive<\/a> late in the week as a cold front moves toward Central Texas, though how much temperatures will drop remains uncertain.<\/p>\n

Forecast guidance suggests highs could fall from the low 90s early in the week to the upper 70s or low 80s by Friday or Saturday. Nights may also turn cooler, with some outlooks showing lows in the 50s or 60s.<\/p>\n

Some models point to a stronger push of cool air, while other projections show a more modest dip. Rain chances with the front remain uncertain, and recent forecasts have trended drier. The details should become clearer over the next few days.<\/p>\n

For now, plan on a cooler end to the week as a possibility, with the timing and temperature change becoming clearer over the next few days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Austin\u2019s warm October will continue early this week as highs climb into the mid-90s and heat index values…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":463665,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133],"class_list":["post-463664","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\/463664","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=463664"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/463664\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/463665"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=463664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=463664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=463664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
