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

(1) Following weak/diffuse cold frontal passage about sunset last night, a sunny day is ahead for south central Texas as the weak front to our south washes out and a light southerly surface wind returns.

(2) Enough moisture will return for low clouds and patchy fog and drizzle to develop in the overnight hours tonight into the early morning hours tomorrow.

(3) Clouds will break quickly tomorrow with sunshine and a south southwesterly surface wind along with unseasonably warm temperatures.

(4) A strong cold front will swiftly move south southeastward through the area before midnight Tuesday night but limited moisture and instability will mean that the wind shift to the north will be about the only sensible effect as the front passes.

(5) Much cooler surface high pressure will settle into Texas Wednesday thruogh Thursday before the high pressure area moves eastward and a southerly surface wind returns late Thursday into Thursday night.

(6) Clouds and warmer temperatures will return Friday through our upcoming weekend. A few light rain showers and sprinkles may develop late Friday night through Saturday as moisture deepens. Another cold front will be moving into Texas and approaching our area by Sunday.

NWS/Weather Prediction Center rainfall guidance suggests, on average, trace rainfall totals over the next seven day forecast period.

MY FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
A high to very high confidence forecast through Thursday with a medium confidence forecast Friday through the weekend.
