The big Austin City Limits Music Festival weekend is a week away... and we are watching the forecast closely. Most of the week ahead will feature highs in the 80s and a slight chance for rain. One cold front arrives on Monday, followed by another one early Friday morning. The air behind these fronts will be only slightly cooler and a little drier.

The Friday front arrives on day one of ACL, and it appears that the front will have some rain with it. The good news for now is that the front should clear the area early in the morning... with sunny skies and highs in the lower 80s during the afternoon.

Saturday looks rain-free with highs in the 80s and increasing clouds. The clouds will be coming from a tropical system off the west coast of Mexico... and this plume of moisture may make for overcast skies and the possibility of showers for Sunday. Right now, there is about a 30 percent chance for rain on Sunday. As more computer model forecasts come in this week, we will have a better idea of how the Sunday forecast will shape up, so keep checking back in with us!

Enjoy the slightly cooler weather coming late tomorrow!
