AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS / IH35 CORRIDOR
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …

(1) A stronger cold front has passed through the area in the overnight hours with much cooler temperatures mid into late week under a clear sky.

(2) As the cooler surface high pressure moves east of the area by late Friday into Saturday with a return south southeasterly surface wind. As a result, a warming trend will begin with temperatures reaching well above seasonal averages by late in the weekend into early next week. Even with a modest moisture return from the Gulf Of Mexico, I do not see any rain chances for the IH35 corridor through the entire seven day forecast period.

(3) Early indications show another cold frontal passage with hopefully some chance of rain for the middle part of next week just beyond the seven day forecast period.

Based partially on NWS/Weather Prediction Center guidance, my forecast is for no rainfall for our IH35 corridor counties over the next seven day period.

MY LOCAL FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
A very high confidence forecast.
