AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS / IH35 CORRIDOR
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
(1) With surface based chilly air mass overhead, the overrunning pattern will continue with an approaching upper level low pressure disturbance over northwestern Mexico. Although forecast rainfall amounts have decreased a bit, higher rain chances along with chilly temperatures will prevail today through Saturday night as the upper level low moves northeastward into the plains states. As rain chances linger into midday Sunday, temperatures will begin to warm a bit.
(3) As the upper air low pressure disturbance moves away from the area, we’ll see clouds break on Sunday night with the return to sunshine by Monday with the warmest forecast temperatures of the seven day forecast period. A stronger cold front, which looks to pass the IH35 corridor Monday evening or night., will result in cooler temperatures Monday night into Tuesday and Wednesday under a mostly clear sky. Areas away from the city will need to be monitored for the possibility of a light freeze by Tuesday night and Wednesday night next week.
Based partially on NWS/Weather Prediction Center guidance, my forecast is,
on average, for 0.50″ to 0.75″ of rainfall for our IH35 corridor counties over the next seven day period.
MY LOCAL FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
A high to very high confidence forecast.
