AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES…

(1) Low level moisture and clouds have increased in advance of a cold front due after midnight tonight.

(2) In the wake of front late tonight, clouds will persist with much cooler temperatures tomorrow as the front weakens and becomes stationary in an west-to-east fashion to our south. An overrunning pattern becomes established with clouds thickening and lowering with rain chances tomorrow night through Thanksgiving Day.

(3) An advancing upper level trough.. or line.. of upper level low pressure and associated cold front will surge eastward across Texas by late Friday into Saturday with the rain chances increasing a bit with a few thunderstorms thrown in for good measure. The NWS/Storm Prediction Center is mentioning a severe thunderstorm risk for parts of Texas and Oklahoma into the lower and middle Mississippi Valley for the time period so we need to monitor this closely given Thanksgiving travel.

(4) In the wake of the cold front laet Saturday, skies will clear and cooler temperatures will prevail Saturday night through Sunday before another warm up again early next week.
