Austin welcomes the week with mostly clear skies and moderate temperatures. However, the weather takes a turn as we brace for potential severe storms. Get the latest updates and safety tips.

Austin kicks off with beautiful clear skies and warmth as the Southern Plains enjoy a tranquil setting. But the weather narrative changes rapidly with the approach of rain showers and severe storms potentially bringing damaging winds and hail. Detailed regional and daily breakdowns help residents prepare adequately for the fluctuating conditions.
A tranquil scene dominates much of the Southern Plains today. Light patchy rain is visible near Corpus Christi, slowly drifting northward. El Paso and Albuquerque enjoy dry conditions, with plenty of sunshine. A vast, clear sky stretches from Oklahoma City to Dallas, providing a perfect day to enjoy outdoor activities.
Tomorrow morning in Austin, expect temperatures to start at 77 degrees by 8 AM, warming to 81 degrees at 10 AM. The skies will transition from mostly cloudy to partly cloudy. Winds will shift from the south-southeast at 5 miles per hour to a steadier 8 miles per hour. By noon, temperatures reach 86 degrees with continued partly cloudy skies and a south-southeast breeze of 10 miles per hour.
Tomorrow in Midland, expect a high of 91 degrees, while El Paso sizzles at 95 degrees. San Antonio will experience warm conditions with a peak temperature of 96 degrees. Dallas sees a similar high of 95 degrees, and Little Rock will be the hottest with a soaring 96 degrees. These readings are notably above average for this time of year, driven by a persistent high-pressure system that is trapping warmer air across the region.
For tomorrow in the Southern Plains, prepare for a busy weather pattern. Rain showers move from Midland and El Paso towards Dallas and San Antonio, offering relief but possibly causing localized flooding. Oklahoma City and the surrounding areas should be on the lookout for potentially severe storms, with damaging winds and hail as primary threats. The unstable air mass combined with an approaching cold front heightens the risk of severe weather, particularly from Little Rock to Jackson.
In Austin, expect the UV index to reach a high of 11 this Saturday and Sunday, indicating an extreme risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure with a burn time of just 11 minutes.
