AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES…

(1) A broad upper level low pressure system and associated surface cold front is moving through Texas. With daytime high temperatures well below average, another .25″ of rain is possible through today.

(2) In the wake of the mid week system, a drier and more stable weather pattern with abundant sunshine is expected by tomorrow afternoon and continuing through most of the weekend with temperatures rising back to above seasonal averages.

(3) Clouds will increase a bit by late Sunday into early Monday with a passing upper air low pressure disturbance but I think any precipitation should remain along the coast and Texas coastal plains to our south and southeast.
