AUSTIN / IH35 CORRIDOR
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
(1) Low level moisture and atmospheric instability has been combining with a series of upper level low pressure disturbances (and their associated atmospheric lift) currently moving west-to-east overhead to produce rain over the last day or so. However, as you have probably noticed, this system was a forecast bust for some of us (depending on your location) as far as heavier rainfall amounts were concerned. In post analysis, I think this was primarily because of the stronger storms in deep south Texas.. they essentially “robbed” the atmosphere locally of a better south southeasterly wind flow and atmospheric energy transport this far northward. This system will depart our area to the east by tonight with precipitation tapering off by 7 to 8pm with clouds and patchy fog lingering into the morning hours tomorrow.
(2) After morning clouds and patchy fog early tomorrow, sunshine returns into Sunday and the first half of next week. A dry cold front arrives early predawn hours Monday morning with slightly cooler and drier air to arrive for the start of the new week. I do not see much of a chance of rain with this front, however, I will watch a few thunderstorms develop by late Sunday into early Monday to our distant north through northeast.
(3) A pretty stout warming trend will build over our area for the middle part of next week just before another cold front approaches the area by Thursday morning.. this front will likely weaken and stall overhead. At this point, I will not mention precipitation with this front.
Based on NWS/Weather Prediction Center guidance, my forecast is for 0.20 inch or less of rainfall, on average, for our IH35 corridor counties over the next seven day forecast period.
MY LOCAL FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
A high to very high confidence forecast for over the next seven day period.
