WEATHER HAZARDS THROUGH 12 MIDNIGHT TONIGHT…

AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
(1) Even with more in the way of sunshine today, lingering slim rain and thunderstorm chances continue into early tonight with an associated lightning threat as well as a gusty wind threat around any storms much as we saw yesterday.
(2) Upper level high pressure, acting like a “lid” on the atmosphere, will continue to strengthen particularly tomorrow through the end of the week and through the weekend with increased sunshine. As that occurs, afternoon highs will rise to above seasonal averages with a few 100 degree temperatures Friday into the weekend especially west and southwest of Austin. In addition, afternoon heat stress index values will rise above 100 degrees. I don’t see any precipitation in our forecast for tomorrow (Wednesday) through the weekend.
Based on NWS/Weather Prediction Center guidance, rainfall will average less than 0.25 inch today into early tonight with no rain expected for the IH35 corridor over the blance of the seven days forecast period.
MY FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
A high to very high confidence forecast continues through the seven day forecast period.
