Austin. The heat index this weekend is going to hit harder than the thermometer suggests, and if you've got outdoor plans, that distinction matters.
Saturday specifics: expect a high of eighty-nine degrees with an overnight low near seventy-eight. Morning starts with some cloud cover, but that clears out as the day builds, and you'll have afternoon sunshine doing its full work on those temperatures.
One more thing for Saturday. There's an isolated chance of showers and thunderstorms.
Practically speaking, here's what this weekend calls for. If you're heading outside for exercise, a festival, yard work, anything physical, morning is your window.
Five degrees above average in mid-May is worth paying attention to. Normal Austin highs this time of year sit around eighty-five.
Austin. It's going to feel hotter than it looks on paper.
