Sometimes you can get it right, and sometimes you can get it wrong. Looking back at the daily record from nearby Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, there was no measurable rain to speak of within the last 24 hours. And since there was no rain, the temperature were able to climb to the upper 80s.
At 6:40AM, there are showers south of the area continuing to push to the south. There is also a storm back off about 125 miles to the west-southwest of the track that is heading to the east-northeast. If those hold together, they should arrive sometime between 11:30AM and 1:00PM.
So for today, we'll go with cloudy skies with a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs should reach the lower 70s. Winds will be out of the northwest at 5-10 MPH. Chance of rain is 50%.
Saturday looks like it will be cloudy with showers and maybe a thunderstorm likely before 12PM. After that, skies will remain cloudy with a chance of showers and a thunderstorm. Highs should reach the mid 60s. Winds will be out of the north at 10-15 MPH, with gusts up to 25 MPH. Chance of rain is 60%.
I'll have updates on my Twitter feed (@RaceWx4You) if threatening weather approaches the area. Live radar is also up and running on our site at www.racecastweather.com. Have a great day.
