Only a few more scorching hot days are expected in Austin before a mild (ish) fall sets in, according to the National Weather Service. By Friday, morning lows will drop to the high 60s and stay there for the foreseeable future, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Mack Morris. “Last year we had highs in the 90s basically every single day,” Morris said. This year, the National Weather Service only recorded 11 hours of triple-digit heat at the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. According to smokymountains.com, a travel guide site that posts an annual fall foliage prediction map, fall foliage will peak in Austin in mid-November.
