AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS / IH35 CORRIDOR
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
(1) A stable weather pattern prevails today. Patchy early morning low clouds are in place mainly along and east of the IH35 corridor this morning.
(2) Beginning late tonight into tomorrow, we’ll see some slim rain chances with rain chances peaking by late Wednesday into early Thursday with the approach of a weakening cold front from the northwest. The front is expected to make it to the Austin area as it weakens late Wednesday night into early Thursday and then returns back northward as a warm front Thursday into Friday. Cloud cover and possible precipitation, not any air mass change, will cause temperatures to settle back a few degrees mid and late week into the weekend.
Based on NWS/Weather Prediction Center guidance, rainfall of 1.00 inch or less is forecast for our IH35 corridor counties over the next seven day period. This would occur mainly Wednesday into Thursday.
MY LOCAL FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
Medium to high confidence forecast.
