AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
(1) An upper level low pressure disturbance is moving eastward out of Texas with widely scattered and scattered rain showers and thunderstorms will continue back in the cooler air overhead through midday today.
(2) As the upper air system departs off to the east, we’ll see decreasing later today into tonight as drier and more stable air moves into the area.
(3) As the cooler high pressure moves east of the area by tomorrow, a return south southeasterly surface wind will result in warming temperatures and increased humidity for the latter part of the week into the upcoming weekend.
(4) As a series of weakening cold fronts will move into Texas by Saturday into Sunday, we’ll see an increasingly moist and unstable air mass. As a result of this, I am mentioning widely scattered rain showers and thunderstorms by Saturday night and Sunday into early next week.
NWS/Weather Prediction Center rainfall guidance is predicting rainfall of less than 0.25 inch over our area for the next seven day period.
MY FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
A high to very high confidence forecast through the 7 day forecast period.
