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

(1) High pressure is moving east of Texas today with plenty of sunshine expected and a return south southeasterly surface wind becoming reestablished across the area.

(2) Another upper level low pressure disturbance will pass west-to-east to our north by late tomorrow into Saturday and allow a surface cold front to move eastward through the area about daybreak on Saturday. Clouds will increase in advance of the system tomorrow with a slim chance of rain by tomorrow night into Saturday morning with clouds clearing out west-to-east, in the wake of the front, for Saturday into Sunday and continuing through the first half of next week as temperatures warm back to above seasonal averages.

NWS/Weather Prediction Center rainfall guidance, over the next seven days, is suggesting amounts of 0.10″ or less for the IH35 corridor.

MY FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
Very High Confidence through Wednesday
