AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS / IH35 CORRIDOR
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
(1) With the a stable and drier air in place, we’ll see afternoon high temperatures well above seasonal averages today.
(2) A dry cold front will move in from the northeast (what we call a “backdoor” cold front) tonight with much cooler temperatures making their way southwestward into the IH35 corridor. Gusty east northeasterly wind will increase our grassfire/wildfire threat especially for tomorrow as relative humidity levels drop.
(3) As the cooler surface high pressure area moves eastward, an east to southeasterly surface wind returns some low level moisture into our area by late week into the weekend. Even so, a pretty stable weather pattern will prevail with the earlier slimrain chances dropping from the forecast. With the dry weather pattern persisting, drought conditions continue to worsen across our IH35 corridor and we are seeing grassfire/wildfire danger potential increasing as evidenced by several grassfires around the area over the last week. Our saving grace, so far, has been a relative lack of wind but with fall here it is only a matter of time before we get a stronger fall cold front pass with gusty northerly wind. We need to watch this closely.
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…
High confidence forecast.
