AUSTIN / IH35 CORRIDOR
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
(1) A dry and stable weather pattern is expected to continue into tomorrow.
(2) The latest guidance continues to show that a southeastward moving weakening cold front will make its way into Texas by Saturday into Saturday night as a series of stronger upper level low pressure disturbances moves eastward from the Pacific Ocean into the southwestern USA before being ejected northeastward over the plains states. As a result, we will see a better chance of rain and thunderstorms by Saturday into Saturday night into Sunday as a cold front passes in the morning. Following the front, we’ll see sunshine with a little cooler temperatures and lower humidity on Monday.
(3) The Monday cold front will return quickly northward on Tuesday morning with a rapid low level moisture return ahead of another series of upper level low pressure disturbances. As these disturbances move overhead, they will produce atmospheric lift in an increasingly humid and unstable air mass and this will result in renewed rain and storm chances for Tuesday into Wedneday night into Thursday.
Based on NWS/Weather Prediction Center guidance, my forecast is for 1.50 inch of rainfall, on average, for our IH35 corridor counties through the 7 day forecast period which ends in the early morning hours next Thursday.
MY LOCAL FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
A very high confidence forecast through tomorrow then falling back to high confidence forecast for Saturday through Monday followed by a medium to high confidence forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday.
