AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
(1) A cold front is slated to move across our area by midday into afternoon today. The air mass, in advance of the front, seems a bit more unstable so I will update my forecast to include a few rain showers as the front moves across the IH35 corridor and then eastward out of the area. Following the frontal passage, breezy conditions and much cooler air will move into the area for tonight into tomorrow. Low clouds may linger a bit in the post cold front environment into the morning hours tomorrow before breaking with sunshine returning area wide by midday into afternoon tomorrow.
(2) After a brief return to a southerly surface wind tomorrow night into Sunday, a strong cold front is due to move across the area by daybreak Monday. A more unsettled weather pattern will result in an overrunning weather pattern with clouds and better rain chances as the front passes and the clouds and rain chances continue and much cooler/unseasonably chilly temperatures settle in for the first half of next week.
NWS/Weather Prediction Center rainfall guidance, for the IH35 corridor over the next seven days, now suggests 0.50″ to 1.00″ for our area.
MY FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
High to Very High Confidence
