AUSTIN / IH35 CORRIDOR
MY SEVEN DAY WEATHER THOUGHTS
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
Southerly surface winds have resulted in increased low level moisture and higher humidity
over the last day or two. While I am maintaining a dry forecast through tomorrow, there were
a few rain showers and sprinkles along and east of the IH35 corridor on Monday. Some of
the computer models continue to suggest a few rain showers and thunderstorms in the
afternoon hours over the next few days but based on what I am seeing, I think that most of
the activity will remain to our south and southeast in deep south Texas and the Texas
coastal plains. As a result, I will not include any rain chances for today and tomorrow for
our IH35 corridor. However, I will continue to watch and update this forecast for this
possibility today as well as tomorrow.
A more unsettled weather pattern still looks set up beginning Thursday as we see a more
distinct weather pattern change for Texas that will continue into Friday as a broad upper
level low pressure trough passes west to east into the central plains states. We will see better
rain and thunderstorm chances beginning late Thursday into the predawn hours Friday as the
upper level trough helps to support a relatively strong cold front as it dives southeastward
through Texas. Following the cold frontal passage, surface high pressure characterized by
drier and cooler conditions will be in place by late Friday through the weekend.
Preliminary guidance suggests rain chances may return to our forecast by the early into the
mid part of next week.
MY LOCAL FORECAST CONFIDENCE FOR THIS SEVEN DAY FORECAST PERIOD …
– A high to very high forecast confidence now through Sunday night
– A medium high forecast confidence Monday
