AUSTIN / IH35 CORRIDOR
MY SEVEN DAY WEATHER THOUGHTS
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
The dry and stable summer weather pattern continues to be in place
across our area as broad upper level high pressure persists which
creates a “lid” which limits upward motion in our atmosphere.
Although the center of the upper air high pressure is predicted to shift
more to the west northwest of our area by Sunday and Monday, I still
think the slim rain chances will remain to our east and southeast (like
we saw yesterday with very isolated activity immediately east and
southeast of the Austin metro area) and those probabilities are 10%
or less for our IH35 corridor at this point. As a result, I am not including
any precipitation chances through the next seven day period for the
IH35 corridor although that could change with time. I’ll continue to
watch this possibility closely.
This “lid,” as well, traps surface heat and, as a result, slightly higher
afternoon temperatures combined with low level moisture will continue
to result in slightly elevated to elevated heat stress and web bulb globe
temperature values over the next week. As usual this time of year, please
remain hydrated and don’t “over do it” in regards to midday, afternoon
and early evening outdoor activities.
LOCAL FORECAST CONFIDENCE FOR THIS SEVEN DAY FORECAST PERIOD …
– A very high forecast confidence today through next Wednesday.
