AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …

(1) Following a late night cold front last night, a drier, cooler and more stable weather pattern will prevail today into tonight.

(2) A passing upper air low pressure disturbance will combine with limited low level moisture and instability to produce slim rain/thunderstorm chances late tomorrow afternoon into tomorrow evening.

(3) With a return southerly surface winds, a stable, but warmer, weather pattern prevails Thursday through out upcoming weekend. A tight pressure gradient will result in gusty winds for the time period. In this southerly flow, low level moisture will begin a return by the weekend into early next week.

Based on NWS/Weather Prediction Center guidance, less than 0.10 inch of rainfall is forecast for our IH35 corridor over the next seven day period (specifically 5 to 8pm tomorrow).

MY FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
High to very high.
