7-DAY TEXAS TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK…

There is no tropical threat to the Texas coast over the next few days. 

Longer range Climate Prediction Center outlooks have indicated some potential for tropical low pressure development over the northern Gulf by the end of next week through Tuesday/22 July. I’ll continue to monitor but confidence in this outlook is low..

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

(1) An area of more unstable air from the gulf will move ashore today before a disturbance moves into the area from the northwest tomorrow; both of these will result in renewed rain and storm chances. Brief heavy rainfall is possible with some areas of flooding possible in areas along and east of the IH35 corridor and in areas to our distant northwest.

(2) A more stable weather pattern returns with sunshine and seasonal temperatures for next week.

Based on NWS/Weather Prediction Center data and guidance, my forecast is for 0.50 inch or less of inch of rainfall for our IH35 corridor counties over the 7 day forecast period which ends in the early evening hours next Saturday.

MY LOCAL FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
A high to very high confidence forecast through the next seven days.
