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

We’re seeing rain and storm chances in the forecast once again as the atmosphere
becomes more moist and unstable. The factors coming together include a cold weak
front which has settled into the state from the northeast as south southeasterly surface
wind flow to the south of the front increases low level moisture across the state.
In addition, a stronger upper level low pressure disturbance, from the Pacific Ocean
basin, will approach Texas from the west. This system and its counterclockwise rotation
will eject smaller disturbances which will create atmospheric lift and will result in the
enhanced rain and storm chances.

Rain chances will diminish a bit and we’ll see a bit more in the way of sunshine by
Sunday through the middle part of next week.

LOCAL FORECAST CONFIDENCE FOR THIS SEVEN DAY FORECAST PERIOD …
– High to very high forecast confidence through Sunday..
– A high forecast confidence Monday through Wednesday..
