AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES…

(1) Scattered rain showers and thunderstorms will develop over our area today into tonight.

(2) Rain chances decrease a little by tomorrow and tomorrow evening as the atmosphere becomes a little more stable. Even so, moisture and limited instability will linger so there will be widely scattered rain showers and thunderstorms mainly in the afternoon hours into evening hours. My confidence is lower regarding any rain chances for Sunday into next week therefore I will not include any rain chances for that part of my forecast.

(3) Afternoon high temperatures, over the next seven days, will continue overall to be above seasonal averages. I do not see any cold frontal passages / change of air masses over the next seven days.
