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

(1) With the upper level high pressure area continuing to be to our distant north and northwest, a series of weak disturbances is moving west southwestward into our area from the Ark-La-Tex area. As a result, we’ll see widely scattered to scattered rain showers and thunderstorms for our area today with the best chances tomorrow into Friday. Rain chances will decrease but still remain in the forecast on Saturday.

(2) By the late in the weekend into early next week, the upper level high will once again become a little stronger overhead with rain chances dropping from the forecast. As this occurs, afternoon high temperatures will rise once again with some triple digit afternoon high temperatures returning.

NWS/Weather Prediction Center rainfall guidance is predicting an average rainfall of 0.25″ to 0.50″ over our area over the next seven day forecast period.

MY FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
A high to very high confidence forecast through the 7 day forecast period.
