WEATHER HAZARDS THROUGH 12 MIDNIGHT TONIGHT…
Red Flag Warning, for Critical Wildfire Danger, Noon until 9pm Today…

AUSTIN / IH35 CORRIDOR
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
(1) Sunshine will dominate through much of the seven day period as a cold front, mainly bringing in drier and a little cooler air, due tonight. The front looks like it will be dry in nature with no precipitation indicated.
(2) As westerly winds return later today, a big warming trend is due today with unseasonably warm temperatures. We’ll continue to see increasing westerly winds and gustiness by midday into afternoon. Winds, more west northwesterly in nature associated cold front overnight tonight into tomorrow. Of course, with no precipitation expected and the on going drought and winter dormancy of vegetation, we’ll continue see critical wildfire danger to develop again area wide today and tomorrow. Everyone should be cautious.. any wildfire starts will likely spread quickly during these periods.
Periods of blowing dust are once again possible this afternoon into tonight and perhaps tomorrow as well.
(3) It will be a bit cooler tomorrow into Sunday and again by Wednesday night into Thursday as a series of cold fronts, again dry in nature, pass.
Based on NWS/Weather Prediction Center guidance, my forecast is for no rainfall, on average, for our IH35 corridor counties over the next seven day forecast period.
MY LOCAL FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
A high to very high confidence forecast through the next seven days.
