AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES…

(1) The atmosphere has become a bit more unstable as evidenced by the very isolated rain showers that made it northwestward into the IH35 corridor yesterday. I am still not confident enough regarding precipitation chances over the next 24 to 30 hours to go any higher than isolated coverage in the forecast. I will increase cloud cover a bit, drop afternoon highs a degree or so and update the precipitation wording to “isolated” and will mention 10% probabilities through tomorrow.

(2) A restabilization of the atmosphere appears to take place beginning Sunday and continuing through the middle part of next week. After a few degree drop in temperatures today and tomorrow, temperatures will rebound a few degrees for the period. Precipitation chances are dropped from the forecast. 

(3) A more pronounced weather pattern change appears likely for the latter part of next week and through the long Labor Day weekend as a cold front moves southward through the plains states and into Texas. That being said, model guidance is still not in sync with varying solutions depending on which models you view. As course of least regret, I will introduce slim precipitation chances for the latter part of next week.
