AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
(1) High pressure from the western USA and Canada continues to dominate Texas with abundant sunshine and below average temperatures continuing.
(2) In a late development, a dynamic upper level low pressure disturbance, currently over northwestern Mexico and part of an upper level trough (or line) of low pressure extending southwestward from the Great Lakes to the Baja Peninsula, will move eastward across the Rio Grande and across south/central Texas tomorrow into tomorrow night. Even though moisture return is meager in advance of the system, the upper level low is quite dynamic and will create abundant lift so I will increase cloud cover beginning tonight for the IH35 corridor and even squeeze out a few sprinkles tomorrow into tomorrow night as it passes.
(3) In the wake of the upper level disturbance, a cold front, dry in nature, will pass southward through the area by Sunday morning with skies quickly clearing. The passage of the front will act the reinforce the dry and stable air mass in place over Texas.
(4) With abundant sunshine, temperatures will warm back near to slightly above seasonal averages for the middle and latter part of next week.
NWS/Weather Prediction Center rainfall guidance, over the next seven days, is now suggesting some rainfall for tomorrow (Saturday) with amounts less than 0.10″.. otherwise a dry forecast period for the IH35 corridor.
MY FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
Very High Confidence Through Tonight
Mid to High Confidence Saturday and Saturday night (Reference Rain Chances)
Very High Confidence Sunday through Thursday
