Currently in Austin — November 17, 2023: Foggy morning, sunny afternoon

The weather, currently.

We’ll see a foggy start to the day before the sun comes out, and light winds from the south southwest will turn north in the afternoon as a weak and dry cold front moves through the area. Don’t expect much from this “cold” front, as the high Friday should reach 80 degrees, dipping to a low around 58 Friday night. If you see a break in the partial clouds and it’s clear where you are, watch for the Leonids meteor shower after midnight Friday until dawn on Saturday.

What you need to know, currently.

Everyone deserves to thrive. Everyone is worthy of a better world. That’s why we’re building a weather service for the climate emergency.

Currently’s new weather service is now live. In the weeks and months ahead, we’ll be continually adding more features and opening up more slots as we develop the service.

But for now, space is limited in the weather service because I want to make sure we can provide the highest quality service we possibly can while we work to refine the system with your input.

If you’d like to put your name on the waiting list, be sure to fill out our baseline survey if you haven’t already which will hold your spot in line.

Our goal — as always — is to co-create the most personalized, most informative weather service that exists. And, above all, to make this service accessible, equitable, and resilient enough to bring safety and joy to the climate emergency.
