Though weekend storms that dropped 0.64 inches of rain at Camp Mabry on Saturday have cleared, forecasters say more precipitation is on the way to Austin later this week.
A severe weather warning was canceled for Austin on Sunday morning after the forecast storm fizzled. Saturday’s rainfall helped water levels at Lake Travis increase by nearly 1.5 inches overnight, to a total of 631.72 ft, or 38% full, according to Water Data for Texas. Significant rainfall is needed to help the lake reach its maximum capacity, which would top out at 680 feet.
National Weather Service meteorologist Mack Morris said a mild cold front on Monday and Tuesday morning will precede forecast rainfall on Thursday and Friday. Aside from the cold front, temperatures in Austin will be comfortable, with highs in the 60s and 70s, and weather patterns will be largely unremarkable throughout the week.
