AUSTIN (KXAN) -- It's back to warmer-than-average temperatures this week with no immediate relief in sight.
Today will look and feel similar to what we felt over the weekend - mainly sunny, warm (80s) and dry. Temperatures will jump back to the 90s by midweek, putting us 5-10° above average.
Southerly winds will be help bring up the warmth and humidity. Although it won't be suffocating, we do anticipate a big more mugginess in the air this week.
As of now, dry skies will take us through the end of the week.
