AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS / IH35 CORRIDOR
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …

(1) As the cooler surface high pressure area moves eastward, an east to southeasterly surface wind returns into our area by late week into the weekend. Even so, a stable weather pattern will prevail. With the dry weather pattern persisting, drought conditions continue to worsen across our IH35 corridor and we will continue to see grassfire/wildfire danger, especially with passing fall cold fronts and gusty winds that may accompany them, until we get some beneficial rainfall.

(2) Temperatures will continue to warm into the early and middle part of next week with temperatures once again warming to above seasonal averages.

Based on NWS/Weather Prediction Center guidance, no rainfall is forecast for our IH35 corridor counties over the next seven day period.

MY LOCAL FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
Very high confidence forecast.
