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

A dry and stable air mass continues across our area. At the same time, clouds have
increased well to our distant southeast and east as tropical cyclone Isaias strengthens
over the southwestern Gulf and moves north northeastward toward the north
central gulf coast where it is expected to make landfall by later today and tonight with
us remaining distant western – and drier – side of the system. An upper level Pacific
low pressure system, has approached our area from the west but this system will
encounter little in the way of moisture so clouds should be limited and mainly well to
our east.

Sunshine continues for the weekend into early next week with continued above
average temperatures.

A more unsettled weather pattern still looks set up beginning Wednesday as we see a
more distinct weather pattern change for Texas. Better rain and thunderstorm chances
begin on Thursday as a cold front arrives by Friday of next week which is just beyond this
seven day forecast period.

MY LOCAL FORECAST CONFIDENCE FOR THIS SEVEN DAY FORECAST PERIOD …
– A very high forecast confidence now through Wednesday night
– A high forecast confidence Thursday
