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

(1) Most of the precipitation will be east of the area today as a more stable atmosphere returns to the area in the wake of a weak cold frontal passage by afternoon.

(2) A stronger cold front will pass during the day tomorrow but no precipitation is expected.

(3) Much cooler and drier air with abundant sunshine will prevail for late Friday through our upcoming weekend into early next week as surface high pressure.. very fall like in nature.. settles over Texas.

(4) As high pressure moves east of the area, another cold front will sweep southeastward through the area on Wednesday with little or no precipitation.

NWS/Weather Prediction Center rainfall guidance, over the next seven days, is predicting little if any precipitation.

MY FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
Very high confidence through Wednesday.
