AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
(1) The cold front that passed over the area late Sunday night is weakening to our south and returning northward as a warm front with humidity on the increase by this afternoon continuing into mid into late week and our upcoming weekend. At this point, very little in the way in dynamics is expected with a dry (but increasingly humid) weather pattern continuing at least through the remainder of the week. A few sprinkles are possible as this moisture returns tonight into early tomorrow but rainfall amounts will be minimal.
(2) Our next upper level low pressure disturbance will move over Texas by Saturday night into Sunday as a cold front pushes south southeastward into Texas. The latest guidance now suggests that the front moves across the IH35 corridor in the predawn hours Tuesday. With increasing atmospheric instability and higher moisture level, I will continue with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms beginning late Sunday into Monday for the IH35 corridor.
(3) Cooler temperatures and lower humidity levels will follow the cold frontal passage early Monday and continue into Monday night and Tuesday as skies partially clear.
NWS/Weather Prediction Center rainfall guidance is predicting 0.25 to 0.50 inch of rain over our area over the next seven day period.
MY FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
A high confidence forecast through the 7 day forecast period.
