AUSTIN / IH35 CORRIDOR
MY SEVEN DAY WEATHER THOUGHTS
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
The upper level high has settled back northwestward over the Rockies and
this has allowed a more moist and unstable from the Gulf through the weekend
resulting in rain and storm chances returning to the forecast. In addition,
this moist and unstable air mass is combining with a weakening cold front,
moving in from the north, to further increase cloud cover as well as rain and
thunderstorm chances particularly today into Wednesday when some of the
heavier rainfall totals are likely to occur. Temperatures, in the more extensive
cloud cover, will fall a few degrees as well.
Rain chances will drop from the forecast by late Thursday into Friday through
the weekend as the atmosphere becomes more stable as clouds break and
temperatures rebound a few degrees.
LOCAL FORECAST CONFIDENCE FOR THIS SEVEN DAY FORECAST PERIOD …
– A high to very high forecast confidence today through Sunday.
