AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
(1) A slow moving upper air low pressure disturbance and southeastward moving cold front is triggering the development of a slow moving surface low that will move eastward into south Texas and then east northeastward along the Texas coast. As a result, as the cooler air surface based moves in today, we’ll see enhanced overrunning clouds and rain chances over our area that will continue over the next couple of days.
(2) Another upper air low pressure disturbance will cross the area by Thursday into Thursday night with a warm front lifting northward into the area before another cold front sweeps southeastward through the area with rain chances continuing on and off.
(3) A third upper air low pressure disturbance will cross the area by Sunday into Monday with clouds and rain chances continuing on and off.
NWS/Weather Prediction Center rainfall guidance, over the next seven days, is forecasting 0.50 to 1.50″ for the IH35 corridor.
MY FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
High to Very High Confidence through Thursday..
Medium Confidence Thursday night through Monday..
