AUSTIN (KXAN) -- The heat isn't gone just yet but we could see a small break from it as we move into next week. Austin's forecast high of 99° today will come within 2° of tying the daily record. More of the same is expected Friday ahead of a subtle pattern change late weekend. Afternoon highs will come down a few degrees Saturday and Sunday leaving us in the mid-90s. Dry skies continue for now. Hot... but a few degrees "cooler" this weekend Saturday is still expected to be pretty hot ahead of the UT game. As with any hot day, drink plenty of water, wear loose light colored clothing, and take breaks in the shade as needed. UT Football forecast We've been able to add some low rain chances in next week as our dry and hot pattern starts to fall apart.

In the vicinity of this front, Central Texas will have a few opportunities for rain beginning Monday and continuing through Wednesday.
