AUSTIN, Texas — We’re now tracking the chilliest day for perhaps the foreseeable future as a brisk north wind starts your Sunday. “Feels-like” temperatures got down to the low to mid-30s.
Highs on Sunday afternoon, which is the third day of the South By Southwest festival, will only be in the upper 50s to near 60.
Still, it’s the only really cool day for perhaps the next several months, save for Monday morning, where lows will be in the mid-40s again. That’s because we’re tracking a nice southerly flow that’ll allow for a good warmup on Monday afternoon. We will get to the 70s with sunnier skies.
Not only that, we’re tracking highs getting closer to 90 by the time we get to the end of the workweek.
In addition, we’re tracking wind gusts, especially on Tuesday, that’ll get to around 25 mph to 30 mph, especially in the Hill Country. With these winds, as well as the dry soils and warm temperatures, we’re tracking elevated to near-critical fire weather concerns yet again for Tuesday afternoon.
The way to lower fire danger is to have either lighter winds, higher humidity or precipitation. It’s possible that Wednesday night into Thursday, a Pacific front will bring in the precipitation with scattered showers and thunderstorms along the front. We will look at rain totals later on to see how much we could get from this, but with the slight (20%-30%) chance that’s forecast, it doesn’t look to be much.
