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

(1) As surface high pressure settles in over the area in the wake of yesterday afternoon’s cold front, a dry and stable early fall weather pattern prevails over the next few days. Gusty winds, lower humidity and dry vegetation will result in higher wildfire danger locally.

(2) With the surface high moving east of the area by Friday into the weekend, southerly surface winds return, temperatures will warm once again to above seasonal averages by the weekend into early next week with abundant sunshine.

NWS/Weather Prediction Center rainfall guidance, over the next seven days, is predicting little in the way of rainfall.

MY FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
Very high confidence through Tuesday.
