AUSTIN / IH35 CORRIDOR
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
(1) We’ve still got upper level low pressure disturbances that will move eastward from the southwestern USA then ejected east northeastward over the southern plains states over the next few days; these disturbances, of course, produce atmospheric lift. The best rain and storm chances will come today through tomorrow.
(2) Rain chances drop from the forecast and we see a partly cloudy sky return for Saturday through Monday.
(3) With another approaching upper air disturbance and a cold front moving into north and western Texas, I will mention a renewed chance for rain and storms for next Tuesday and Wednesday. The front will, it would appear, struggle to make it’s way into central and south central Texas so there appears to be some chance of some heavier rain which is reflected in the seven day forecast amount.
Based on NWS/Weather Prediction Center data and guidance, my more conservative forecast is for 1.00 to 2.00 inch of rainfall, on average, for our IH35 corridor counties through the 7 day forecast period which ends in the early morning hours next Thursday.
MY LOCAL FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
A medium to high forecast confidence through tomorrow then back to a high to very high confidence Saturday into early next week before a medium to high confidence forecast appears for Tuesday into Wednesday.
