AUSTIN / IH35 CORRIDOR
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
(1) Southerly surface winds have returned as the stalled cold front in the Texas coastal plains returned back northward as a warm front earlier today. A pretty stout warming trend will build over our area for the middle part of the week, with unseasonably warm temperatures, just before a series of upper level low pressure disturbances and an associated cold front move into Texas by Thursday. This system will move slowly across Texas with another good chance of precipitation with some stronger thunderstorms possible in northeastern areas of the state. Our next cold front will move across our IH35 corridor on Saturday morning with the best rain chances in the 24 to 30 hour period preceding the frontal passage.
(2) As the front moves through the area early Saturday and then off the Texas coast, some light rain may persist through Saturday afternoon. Unseasonably cool temperatures will build into the area as a strong area of continental polar air and surface high pressure builds in from the Rockies and plains states. This cooler than average temperatures will prevail into the early into mid parts of next week.
Based on NWS/Weather Prediction Center guidance, my forecast is down a bit since yesterday; 0.50 to 1.00 inch of rainfall is expected, on average, for our IH35 corridor counties over the next seven day forecast period. Most of this precipitation will mostly likely occur specifically in the Thursday afternoon into the Saturday afternoon time period.
MY LOCAL FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
A high to very high confidence forecast for over the next seven day period.
