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

(1) I expect sunshine in general over the next couple of days with near average temperatures for today through the weekend.

(2) An approaching upper air low pressure disturbance will trigger the development of a slow moving surface low that will move eastward into south Texas and then east northeastward along the Texas coast late Monday into Wednesday with clouds and rain chances returning to our area.

(3) Clouds and rain chances will finally move east of our area by late Wednesday into Thursday.

NWS/Weather Prediction Center rainfall guidance, over the next seven days, is forecasting 1.00 to 1.50″ for the IH35 corridor.
