Weather
In October, Marble Falls typically enjoys warm, pleasant fall weather, with daytime temperatures ranging from the upper 70s to mid-80s. Evenings are cooler, often dipping into the 50s and low 60s, so a light jacket or layers are recommended. Humidity is generally lower than during the summer months, making the days feel more comfortable. Occasional showers are possible, but October often brings plenty of sunshine and beautiful conditions for enjoying the Texas Hill Country.
