AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
(1) As surface high pressure, and its associated surface clockwise circulation, moves further east of our area, we’ll see more of a southerly surface wind flow return by later today through tonight and tomorrow, we’ll start seeing slowly increased low level moisture and a few more clouds for the latter half of week and through much of our upcoming weekend.
(2) By Sunday, enough moisture and instability will be in place for a few rain showers ahead of a rather strong cold front that is forecast to cross the IH35 corridor during the afternoon hours. Much cooler temperatures are likely to follow the front into the new week with an overrunning pattern persisting meaning clouds and some rain chances and cooler than average temperatures through Monday into Monday night.
(3) Partial clearing along with a bit of a warming trend will take hold for Tuesday and likely continuing through midweek as well as the Thanksgiving holiday period.
NWS/Weather Prediction Center rainfall guidance, for the IH35 corridor over the next seven days, indicates 0.25″ or less.
MY FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
High to Very High Confidence through Saturday night
Medium Confidence Next Sunday
