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

(1) Another dry cold front has moved through the area earlier today which will drop temperatures back below seasonal averages as we wrap up the week. Limited low level moisture return and limited atmospheric instability means little cloudiness and no precipitation as the front passes. By late tomorrow, as the high pressure moves east of our area, southerly surface winds return and we’ll see a warming trend along with increased cloud cover that will persist into Saturday and Saturday night.

(2) As moisture increases, we’ll see a few rain showers and thunderstorms develop mainly in areas east of the IH35 corridor by late tomorrow night into Saturday as an upper level low pressure disturbance approaches and then moves across the area.

(3) In the wake of the upper air disturbance late Saturday into Saturday night, yet another surface cold front will pass through the area by early to mid morning Sunday with temperatures cooling again Sunday night into the first part of next week.

NWS/Weather Prediction Center rainfall guidance is predicting 0.25 inch of rainfall for areas east of the IH35 corridor over the next seven days.

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