Dry and Quiet Weather Weather Forecast through Late Week

We’re looking at quiet, rain-free weather this week, with similar conditions expected to continue into next week as well. Fall-like temperatures look to hang on through Tuesday before noticeably warmer readings move in for the second half of the week.

Monday’s weather maps showed a large, stable ridge of high pressure in the middle and upper atmosphere spreading over Texas out of Mexico following Saturday’s period of unsettled weather. The jet stream and storm track are currently flowing well up to our north near the Canadian border. Some of the long-range computer-forecast solutions indicate we’ll see a similar jet stream pattern for a good part of the upcoming winter.

Forecasts call for the ridge to remain over Texas through late week, then slowly shift to the south. With the ridge overhead, sunny weather can be expected all week. Southerly breezes have returned and are predicted to remain in place throughout the week. Wind speeds should generally be in the range of 5-10 mph. However, stronger winds, with gusts to 20 mph are forecast Wednesday and Thursday. The southerly breezes will bring a return of warmer temperatures for the second half of the week.

  • High temperatures Monday are forecast to be near 78-80 degrees, warming to 80-82 degrees Tuesday
  • High temperatures Wednesday and Thursday are predicted to be in the mid-80s
  • High temperatures Friday and Saturday are forecast to be in the upper 80s. A few spots could even reach 90 degrees
  • Lows Tuesday morning will generally be near 48-50 degrees
  • Lows Wednesday morning will range from the low 50s across the Hill Country, to the upper 50s near the coast
  • Lows Thursday, Friday, and Saturday mornings will range between the mid-50s across the Hill Country and the low 60s near the coast

A dry cold front is forecast to sweep south across our area late Saturday into early Sunday, bringing a push of cooler air that will last into the early part of next week. Expect high temperatures to fall to the upper 70s, with lows in the upper 40s to low 50s.

Extended Outlook

Forecasts call for continued dry weather next week. There are some hints at a few spotty, light showers developing around the 15th, but no significant rain is expected. Temperatures will trend mild for the second half of next week, with highs returning to the low 80s with lows in the upper 50s to low 60s. There are no signs of any cold air headed toward Central Texas anytime soon.

Tropical Weather Outlook

Weather conditions are quiet across the tropical Atlantic and tropical cyclone development is not forecast for at least the next seven days. Tropical weather season officially runs through November 30th.

The Brightest and Biggest Full Moon of the Year

The November full moon, also known as the Beaver Moon, will occur Wednesday morning at 7:19 am CST. This November’s full moon will also be a supermoon, when the full moon coincides with the moon’s closest approach to Earth. This will make the moon appear slightly larger and 30 percent brighter than an average full moon. The bright moon should really light up the late-autumn sky.

The best time to watch will be just after sunset Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, when the rising moon will appear quite large.

October Climate

October’s climate was much warmer than normal, with the temperature averaging between 2 and 4 degrees above normal. Rainfall was below normal across the region, with totals more than 2 inches below normal for areas southeast of Interstate 35.

In Austin, Camp Mabry reported an average temperature of 77.0 degrees, which was 5.4 degrees above normal. October 2025 tied for the second warmest October on record. Interestingly, the warmest October was set in 2024.

Austin-Camp Mabry recorded 2.76 inches of rain, which was 1.15 inches below normal. October 2025 was the 61st wettest October on record.

Have a great week!
