AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
(1) Unseasonably warm temperatures continue for today. The return of low level moisture from the Gulf of Mexico has resulted in increased clouds. All of this is occurring in advance of an upper level low pressure storm system later tonight.
(2) As this upper air disturbance moves by, a stronger cold front will pass overhead by this evening with unseasonably chilly temperatures expected the latter part of the week into the upcoming weekend with the chance of light overrunning precipitation in the wake of the front tomorrow into Thursday and Friday and continuing into the weekend (with lagging upper air disturbances passing west-to-east overhead). Temperatures, at this point, are expected to remain at or just above the freezing mark but we need to monitor this closely as we consider the possibility of mixed freezing/frozen precipitation across Texas.
(3) As temperatures remain below seasonal averages, clouds will break during the day Sunday with a dry and sunny start to the new week.
NWS/Weather Prediction Center rainfall guidance is predicting 0.25 to 0.50 inch of precipitation over the next seven days.
