AUSTIN / IH35 CORRIDOR
MY SEVEN DAY WEATHER THOUGHTS
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …

A cold front is passing overhead of our IH35 corridor and is being preceded by rain
and thunderstorms.

Following the frontal passage this morning, surface high pressure builds in, skies
will clear with lower humidity and cooler temperatures later today through the
remainder of the week into the weekend.

Clouds may begin to reappear by Friday night into the weekend and early next week
but I am not confident enough to include any precipitation chances at this point.

MY LOCAL FORECAST CONFIDENCE FOR THIS SEVEN DAY FORECAST PERIOD …
– A high to very high forecast confidence now through Friday.
– A medium to high forecast confidence Saturday through Monday.
