AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
(1) After a brief return to a southerly surface wind yesterday, a strong cold front is moving through the area on this Monday morning. As the shallow wedge (only a few thousand feet deep!) of unseasonably cold air makes its way southeastward, a strong upper level low pressure disturbance, and its counterclockwise circulation, remains to the west with disturbances being ejected eastward over the area. This will result in a more unsettled weather pattern / an overrunning weather pattern with low clouds and better rain chances and much cooler/unseasonably chilly temperatures settle in for the first half of the new week.
(2) The main part of the upper level low pressure disturbance will finally pass overhead and off to our east northeast by late tomorrow into Wednesday morning with rain chances lowering and clouds clearing by late in the day on Wednesday.
(3) A dry and stable fall weather pattern will return, with abundant sunshine, for Thursday and Friday through our upcoming Halloween weekend. Although temperatures will warm a bit, I still expect temperatures to be below seasonal averages.
NWS/Weather Prediction Center rainfall guidance, for the IH35 corridor over the next seven days, suggests 0.25″ to 0.75″ for our area.
MY FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
High to Very High Confidence
