AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES…

.. Rain Showers and Thunderstorms Possible Over Next 24 Hours ..
.. Continuing to Monitor the Southwestern Gulf of Mexico ..

(1) An upper level low pressure area, currently located over southwest Texas, is resulting in scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over south Texas this morning and will result in scattered rain showers and thunderstorms today into tonight and tomorrow for our local area.

(2) An upper level high pressure, acting like a “lid” of the atmosphere, will result in a dry and stable late spring/early summer weather pattern beginning late tomorrow through the balance of the week and into the weekend. Rain chances will drop from the forecast locally as temperatures warm a bit.

(3) I continue to monitor the latest NWS/National Hurricane Center guidance regarding the likelihood of tropical cyclone development later this week into the weekend over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico and the adjoining Bay of Campeche. It’s too early to say where this system, if it develops, will end up. As a result, I’m not including any effects in the forecast locally at this time. In addition, please remember to disregard “click bait” social media entries of what one atmospheric computer model / model guidance spaghetti plot says. You should really only trust information from the NWS/National Hurricane Center and local NWS offices.
