AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
(1) Clouds and periods of light rain will linger with unseasonably chilly temperatures today into tomorrow.
(2) An approaching low pressure area and associated cold front that is forecast to approach Texas from the west and northwest late tomorrow into tomorrow night with the front crossing the IH35 corridor sometime late Thursday afternoon. Scattered to numerous rain showers and thunderstorms will develop ahead of the front tomorrow night through Thursday. However, the associated upper level low will linger to our west into Friday and Friday night before moving east of the area late Friday night into early Saturday. This means that the cooler air following the frontal passage will be “overridden” by moisture which keeps clouds and rain in the forecast into late Friday night into the predawn hours Saturday with clearing skies thereafter.
(3) A developing area of surface low pressure over the central plains states will result in warming temperatures, even perhaps a little above average (for the first time since November 11th), with plenty of sunshine Saturday into early next week.
NWS/Weather Prediction Center rainfall guidance suggests, on average, rainfall totals of 1.00 to 1.25 inch over the next seven day forecast period.
MY FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
A high to very high confidence forecast through Thursday night dropping back to a medium to high confidence forecast Friday and Friday night before increasing back to a high to very high confidence forecast for Saturday into the new week.
