Weather around Austin

The Hill Country west of Austin is where most weekend drives go: Fredericksburg, Wimberley, Llano and the Highland Lakes around Horseshoe Bay. It is a little higher and drier than the city, with cooler mornings, but summer afternoons are hot almost everywhere.

The coast is within three hours for a Gulf breeze on hot days. In spring and fall, fronts bring clear, mild weekends, and storms along a front can make one day much better than the other.

How we pick

"Good" means a high from 55F to 88F, a forecast of sun or clouds, and at most a 30% chance of rain or snow, with no thunderstorm, dangerous heat or cold, strong gusts or smoke. "Mixed" means one day is good and the other isn't. Picks are ordered by that, then by the forecast and how much of a destination the town is.

Drive times start at the center of Austin and go to the center of each town. They come from a table built on OpenStreetMap and do not include traffic or seasonal road closures.
