AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES…
(1) A general area of upper level high pressure, acting like a “lid” on our atmosphere, has, as advertised, has weakened and shifted more northeast of the area. This allowed a weak westward moving disturbance to move across the Texas coastal plains yesterday with a few rain showers and a thunderstorm or two in parts of the IH35 corridor and Austin metro area.
(2) In the overnight hours, NWS/National Hurricane Center meteorologists tell us that a weak area of surface low pressure has formed off the Texas coast. The system will move ashore later today into tonight with our best rain chances for the IH35 corridor coming tomorrow.
(3) The atmosphere will become a little more stable Wednesday into Thursday with rain chances reduced or dropped from the forecast.
(4) Another west northwestward moving tropical wave is forecast to move through the Gulf of Mexico this week arriving in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico by late Thursday through Friday and then moving ashore into Texas late Friday into the weekend with better rain chances locally.
