Thunderstorms are likely in Austin this afternoon, and if you've got anything planned outdoors after three o'clock, the forecast is telling you to rethink it. Here's the sequence that matters today.
The storm window opens early afternoon. Showers become possible between one and three p.m.
For the morning, you're dressing for low eighties and genuine wind. Light layers make sense.
Today sits near the seasonal average, which for May in Austin means the mid-eighties. That context matters because the rest of the week is trending warmer.
On the wind advisory question: seventeen to twenty-two miles per hour is enough to be a genuine nuisance, particularly for cyclists, anyone running exposed routes, or outdoor workers. Whether an official advisory has been issued wasn't confirmed as of this briefing.
The signal to carry through today is straightforward. Clear morning, useful for anything you need to get done outside.
