AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …

(1) Surface high pressure has moved east of our area and as a result, a southerly surface wind has returned which is resulting in increasing low level moisture for middle into late week with increased cloud cover.

(2) Lower confidence rain chances return Friday through Sunday but the chance of rain at any given location will be slim with little in the way of measurable rainfall.

Based on NWS/Weather Prediction Center guidance, 0.25 inch or less of rainfall is forecast for our IH35 corridor over the next seven day forecast period (specifically, focusing on the late week into the weekend period).

MY FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
High forecast confidence through mid week before falling back to medium to high confidence late week into the weekend.
