Austin weather: October 17 evening forecast

Welcome back. We're looking at a nice cool 67 degrees outside. It is dry. North winds at six miles per hour. Humidity 33%, high pressure controls. You can see there with the pressure reading and the dew point is 37. Remember the last time we had a dew point of 37. It's been a long time ago. But that is super dry air and it's a very nice day out there. Just some mid and high level clouds for the most part. Today the best we could do was 67 degrees outside. and for the first time also in a long time including yesterday we are below average our average is 82 the record high is 95 and nowhere near that we were closer to our record low of 40 set in 1898 our rain chances the next few days not looking good i think austin will be dry through at least wednesday but the mugginess will come back however we're going to start off with dry conditions today and tonight and that will continue through sunday we start seeing the Humidity jump back up again as southeast winds make a return from the Gulf. And we're going to start feeling that on Monday, especially Monday night into Tuesday. And it's going to feel very uncomfortable again, unfortunately, for Tuesday and Wednesday. So we're not saying goodbye to the heat altogether. It's coming back as high as by the end of this upcoming week will probably be close to 90 degrees once again. Rain chances, though, not looking good. This high-pressure ridge behind this cold front has wiped out all of our moisture for the time being. and I'm not expecting any rainfall over the next seven days at least nothing more than an isolated shower at best. Even the high resolution models for tonight do spit out some clouds a sprinkle or two but it's too dry I think at the surface so if you were lucky enough to get a sprinkle that would be a very unlikely scenario for you. Other models do want to show that but I think we're just too dry at the surface right now for us and I'm going to keep us dry for the time being. These are LCRA numbers with a north and northeasterly wind for you at 63 in Llano and Mason and Fredericksburg, 62 in Burnet and Lampasas. To the east, a little bit warmer, but not much. La Grange, you're looking at 70 degrees. We've got upper 60s also around Luling and Smithville. Over the next few hours, temperatures, steady drop, probably end up in the 50s through at least three or four, and I do think we'll get in the 40s even in the city of Austin overnight tonight. Fairly partly cloudy skies expected for just about everybody and very cool, be in the 40s again in the morning. I think some upper 30s may occur low lying areas out in the hill country. And then by lunch hour, we're looking at 50s once again in 60s. Tomorrow should be just a touch warmer and we should make it into the 70s across portions of our area, especially from Austin and I-35 corridor to the east. So for Austin here specifically, chilly morning, 49 degrees, north wind, very light, 75 degrees. Very nice day Great day to get outdoors in the seventies again on the humidity jumps Tuesday Highs in the eighties get
