AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES…

.. A Stable and Dry Summer Weather Pattern Continues ..

(1) A general area of upper level high pressure, acting like a “lid” on our atmosphere, will continue to result in a stable summer weather pattern through the remainder of the week through the weekend and even into next week. Even so, the center of the upper level ridge is in the process of shifting more north of the area over the coming days or there will be a little less of a “lid” on the atmosphere.  While afternoon heat stress temperatures will be in excess of 100 degrees each day, afternoon high temperatures will come down a few degrees but still stay at 100 degrees or higher through late week before falling back to the upper 90s Friday into the weekend. Given the stable summer weather pattern, no precipitation is expected over the next seven days.

(2) There are still some indications.. not strong, not consistent through the models.. that a few afternoon rain showers and thunderstorms may develop over the Texas coastal plains, mainly south of the IH10 corridor, by early into mid parts of next week. At this point, these will remain well to our southeast and, as a result, I do not expect these to affect our local area.
