Austin weather: Potential record-breaking heat this weekend
It may be fall, but you sure can't tell from the weather. Things are expected to get even hotter this weekend.
Temperatures will start in the 60s in the morning, move to the 80s around noon and we will wrap up the day in the low to mid 90s.
It will be another low humidity day, which will help a bit with that heat.
We expect to see some light winds.
It is an ozone action day, meaning pollution levels will be unhealthy for some people with respiratory issues like asthma.
