Austin weather: Wet weekend, but feels like fall

Fox 7 Austin Weather with meteorologist Adam Lee Rowe. We started out this morning a little bit foggy. You can see that over downtown Austin, but then we saw a bit more sunshine as the day went on and it shaped up to be a really, really nice Wednesday. And now it's dark. I'm still getting kind of used to these early sunsets. So if you are going to walk your dog, make sure you got a little glow collar for them. Something that's reflective on you. And here's a look downtown Austin. We're 69 degrees currently. So cooling off. Into the 60s for the majority of our viewing area. We're 69 now in Giddings. We're 69 also in Burnet. 63 currently in Fredericksburg. And we've got these winds that are already coming in from the north. But we do have a cold front that is hanging out just to the north of us. Is it going to be bringing us any rain? No. Is it going to be bringing us way cooler temperatures? No. You're hardly going to notice it except for... More humidity is going to go down big time, so it's going to be feeling very comfortable, dry air in place both tomorrow and for the majority of your Friday, and then we'll start to see that moisture rise once again. So will our rain chances more on that in just a bit. But we've got these clear conditions these next couple of days. Get on out there and soak up that sunshine. By the time we get to Friday evening, we'll have a little bit more cloud cover starting to move in. Kind of a telltale sign of things to come. Waking up tomorrow morning. Most of us in the 50s. Some isolated spots in the hill country could be in the 40s, but it's going to be chilly enough that you should go ahead and grab your jacket before heading out the door tomorrow. And then get ready to take it off in the afternoon as we've got 70s and sunshine. It's going to be a really nice day. And then Friday, I'm thinking there's a better chance that some more spots could be waking up in the 40s. So have your jacket handy and then take it off in the afternoon. Copy and paste. And we've got a rinse and repeat because we've got shower chances and storm chances. Not these next couple of days, obviously. But as we move into the weekend with that busiest time looking to be a Saturday night in it to the day on Sunday. So here's the culprit. We've got this low pressure system over in the Eastern Pacific. It's gonna slowly move this way and it's gonna increase our rain chances once we get towards the weekend. So a little bit better further to the south as more of that moisture comes in from the Gulf because that low pressure is gonna be a little bit to the north. So it's gonna be dragging all of that up. And accumulation totals, not too bad. We're still technically in drought mode, even though we have seen a lot of rainfall so far this month. I'm thinking that most of us seeing about a quarter to an inch. This model, not quite as optimistic, but they'll start to agree as we get a little bit closer. But for now, yeah, about a quarter to an inch of rainfall. Throughout your weekend and then 8 to 14 days out. This is the 19th through the 25th. It does look like we're going to be wetter than average. So that is some good news. Thank you El Nino for bringing us some more wet weather. Here's a look at your seven day forecast. Seventies and sunshine these next couple of days. And then as we move towards the weekend, we'll start to see those showers and those storms. Cold front number two kind of coming through on Sunday and then we'll have some of those highs in the 60s to look forward to lows in the 50s and the 40s and man, it's just really feeling like fall.
