Austin weather: Oct. 18 morning forecast

Good day, Austin weather with Fox 7 meteorologist Adelie Rowe. And after a long stretch of above average temperatures day after day in the 90s, Mother Nature finally putting that burr in October in the 70s is what we warmed up to on Friday when that cold front came through. And then on Saturday, just yesterday, I hope you got out there and enjoyed it. It wasn't as windy and we only warmed up to 69 here in Austin. We're 47 right now, so even cooler than we were yesterday at this time with those light winds, low humidity, mostly clear conditions, just perfect for us to cool off overnight. 49 in Rockdale, 44 in Bastrop. Moving over to Blanco, you are 40. 50 over in Burnett, so make sure you grab your jacket before you head out the door. It's a little bit chilly. about nine degrees cooler at the airport five degrees cooler in La Grange and four degrees cooler here in Austin and here's a look at those winds they're pretty calm coming in from the north at about five to ten throughout the day and they will start to shift a little bit more to the east and as we take a look at these dew points not too bad i mean we are dry out there we don't see this very often so make sure you get out there and enjoy it because the humidity is going to start to go up. Not too bad tomorrow, but man, take a look. By the time we get to the second half of the week, we're going to be right back into that oppressive category and temperatures are going to be warming up, unfortunately. So I can't say it enough. Just open up your windows and make the most out of this cool weather while we still have it. Later on this afternoon, right around 12 30 we're going to be in the 60s and then highs today lower 70s for most of us so slightly warmer than we were just yesterday that warming trend is going to continue a little bit warmer tomorrow morning you'll see more 50s than 40s and then temperatures getting closer to the 80s by monday if not hitting the lower 80s in a couple of spots taking a look at those rain chances for us things are very quiet day after day mostly sunny conditions no rain chances but take a look over at the east coast there is an area that we'll be keeping a close eye on with a low chance of development but other than that i mean things are pretty quiet as we go ahead and take a look it does have a 40% chance in these next several days but regardless if it turns into anything tropical It's going to be impacting the East Coast with some dangerous surf, some winds, and some heavy downpours potentially. And for us, it's not until we get to 18 to 14 days out, a little bit closer to Halloween, it's right around the corner, that we'll start to see those rain chances again and actually be wetter than average and warmer than average as well. By the way, average is about 82 for our high this time of year. And here's a look at that seven day forecast. Temperatures below average for a couple more days, but then we'll slowly start to warm up. Going to be approaching the 90s by the time we get to next weekend, but no rain chances. And today is going to be absolutely gorgeous. We're just so lucky that this happened on the weekend where people are able to get out and enjoy it.
