2026-10-03 – 2026-10-04 doesn't have to be a wash. Here's a clearer weather Plan B.

The question

Where near Austin has 70°F weather this weekend?

Where to go

1. Tulsa, Oklahoma

Rank 1 isn’t a trophy — it’s a forecast fit. Tulsa (Oklahoma) lands near 74°F with only light rain on the books (~0.13 in), which is exactly the band people want for sit-outside terrace weather.

Call it a hidden gem or a familiar favorite — either way, the point is the outlook. Travelers trying to find your perfect weather for 2026-10-03 – 2026-10-04 should shortlist Tulsa before the hotter or wetter options crowd the tab.

Use it as a concrete recommendation: fly or drive for patio weather, keep an eye on updates, and treat 74°F as your planning anchor — not a vague “nice weather somewhere.”

2. Big Spring, Texas

If you’re scanning for current recommendations, put Big Spring near the top of the list: weekend air around 75°F / 57°F, plus a dry outlook with little to no rain.

Once the high sits near 75°F, Big Spring 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.

If you’re comparing two or three towns, weigh Big Spring’s 75°F high against how you actually want to feel outside — then lock the plan once it feels like weather you’ll love.
