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

Moisture levels have increased with more cloudiness as an area of upper
level low pressure approaches the area from the west with chances of rain
and a few thunderstorms through Friday.

A dry weather pattern looks to be in store for Friday through the weekend and
into Monday with temperatures above seasonal averages.

An approaching cold front, due Monday night, will be preceded by some rain and
thunderstorm chances followed by clearing skies and cooler temperatures
Tuesday and beyond.

MY LOCAL FORECAST CONFIDENCE FOR THIS SEVEN DAY FORECAST PERIOD …
– A high forecast confidence now through Tuesday.
