Central Texas could get a good shot at rain this weekend as the chance for showers increases in the coming days.

We’re also looking at highs in the low to high 80s and lows near 70, the National Weather Service said.

Today, we’ll have a slight, 20 percent chance for rain and could reach a high of 90, the service said. We could see light showers like those seen in the area Thursday. Yesterday, Camp Mabry reported a trace of rain, while Austin-Bergstrom International Airport posted slightly more, but much less than one-tenth inch of rain.

Tonight’s low is 71.

Tomorrow, rain chances increase to 40 percent, and by Sunday, we’ll be looking at a 50 percent chance for rain.

Our weekend highs are slated to steadily decline to 88 degrees by Sunday, the service said. Our lows are also expected to fall slightly to 67 degrees by Sunday night.
