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

(1) As we start the new week, with the departure of the upper level low pressure system yesterday, clouds linger this morning; drier air with a partly cloudy sky will develop later today as surface high pressure settles in overhead.

(2) Clouds will increase again by tonight ahead of a reinforcing dry cold front that will move through the area tomorrow night. This front will act to simply reinforce the drier air mass in place through Thursday with abundant sunshine expected.

(3) Another upper level low pressure disturbance will pass west-to-east to our north by late Friday into Saturday and allow a surface cold front to surge eastward through the area about daybreak on Saturday. Clouds will increase in advance of the system with a slim chance of rain late Friday night into Saturday morning with clouds clearing out west-to-east for Saturday into Sunday.

NWS/Weather Prediction Center rainfall guidance, over the next seven days, is suggesting trace amounts or no rainfall for the IH35 corridor.

MY FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
High to Very High Confidence through Sunday
