AUSTIN / IH35 CORRIDOR
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
… NWS / Austin San Antonio continues the following for Hays, Travis and
Williamson counties and the Austin metro area:
EXTREME COLD WARNING until 12 noon today
(1) We’re seeing clouds increase from the southwest as an upper level low pressure area approaches the area and a surface low starts to spin up over the northwestern gulf. After clouds increase and thicken this afternoon, our chance of precipitation should be limited with a few sprinkles of rain possible in the predawn hours Saturday into Saturday night as the upper air system passes overhead and the system in the gulf moves eastward. At this point, I feel like temperatures will remain just above the freezing mark locally Friday night into Saturday morning so I am not overly concerned. I will continue to monitor this closely.
(2) In the wake of this late week/early weekend system, we’ll see partial clearing after midnight Saturday night into Sunday morning and continuing into mid week with a southerly surface wind becoming reestablished with our temperatures headed upwards.
Based on NWS/Weather Prediction Center guidance, my forecast is for 0.15 inch or less rainfall amounts, on average, for our IH35 corridor counties over the next seven day forecast period.
MY LOCAL FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
A high to very high confidence forecast over the next seven day period.
