AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
(1) As a shallow wedge of unseasonably cold air, only a few thousand feet deep, continues over the area, the main part of an upper level low pressure disturbance out west approaches and moves overhead later today. As a result, we’ll see rain and drizzle through midday. The system will finally move off to our east northeast by afternoon with rain chances lowering and clouds slowly clearing in the wake of the system.
(2) A dry and stable fall weather pattern will return, with abundant sunshine, for Thursday and Friday through our upcoming Halloween weekend. Although temperatures will warm a bit, I still expect temperatures to be below seasonal averages.
NWS/Weather Prediction Center rainfall guidance, for the IH35 corridor over the next seven days, suggests 0.25″ or less for our area.
MY FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
Very High Confidence
