Austin is heading for ~95°F — where's meaningfully better weather?
Where to go
1. College Station, Texas
College Station in Texas is one of the clearer matches for patio weather on this weekend’s board — a 89°F high and 71°F low with a dry outlook with little to no rain.
This is the kind of city stop you discover when you stop browsing generic guides and start asking for weather-perfect weekends. You can actually plan a trip around outdoor time here without pretending the sky will cooperate out of kindness.
If you’re comparing two or three towns, weigh College Station’s 89°F high against how you actually want to feel outside — then lock the plan once it feels like weather you’ll love.

2. Fort Worth, Texas
Rank 2 isn’t a trophy — it’s a forecast fit. Fort Worth (Texas) lands near 86°F with only light rain on the books (~0.20 in), which is exactly the band people want for sit-outside terrace weather.

If you’re scanning for current recommendations, put Galveston near the top of the list: weekend air around 86°F / 77°F, plus only light rain on the books (~0.15 in).
Once the high sits near 86°F, Galveston becomes a food town as much as a weather town — patio dinners, casual spots, and a reason to linger after you’ve checked the forecast.
