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

(1) Plenty of sunshine will prevail with somewhat cooler temperatures prevailing today and tomorrow.

(2) A southerly wind returns with increased low level moisture and warming temperatures for the Easter weekend.

(3) A series of cold fronts will move through the area Sunday into Sunday evening with a few rain showers and thunderstorms possible as early as late Saturday night and continuing into Sunday. A few stronger thunderstorms are possible mainly in areas north and northeast of Austin.

(4)Clearing and less humid conditions will prevail in the wake of the fronts for Monday.

(5) Our next series of upper level low pressure disturbances will begin to move over the area by Tuesday into Wednesday as a more unstable atmosphere develops and low level moisture returns from the Gulf of Mexico. I’m including a few rain showers and thunderstorms for the period.

NWS/Weather Prediction Center rainfall guidance is predicting less than 0.25 inch over the area over the next seven day period.

MY FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
A high to very high confidence forecast through the 7 day forecast period.
