AUSTIN / IH35 CORRIDOR
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
(1) With another approaching upper air disturbance and a cold front moving into our area later today, we’re in for another round of rain and storms this afternoon into tonight. The front will pass southeastward by the diner hour this evening before pulling up stationary along the Texas coast. Cooler temperatures and less humid conditions will prevail in the wake of the front Saturday into Sunday as skies partially clear.
(2) The front will return northward as a warm front by Monday with low level gulf moisture increasing again as another significant upper level low pressure storm system approaches Texas from the west by the middle part of next week with rain and stormy weather in the offing. Heavier rain with some localized flooding issues and some severe thunderstorms may occur the mid part of next week.
Based on NWS/Weather Prediction Center data and guidance, my forecast is for 3.00 to 3.75 inches of rainfall, on average, for our IH35 corridor counties through the 7 day forecast period which ends in the early evening hours next Thursday.
MY LOCAL FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
A high confidence forecast, with some uncertainty of timing and amounts of rainfall, appears for today through tonight then a very high confidence forecast for Saturday through Monday before a medium confidence forecast returns next Tuesday into Wednesday.
