AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS
WEATHER HAZARDS THROUGH 12 MIDNIGHT TONIGHT…
… A Lightning Threat With Any Thunderstorm This Afternoon …

AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
(1) Even with more in the way of sunshine today into tomorrow, I’m adding slim rain and thunderstorm chances this afternoon as well as tomorrow afternoon with an associated lightning threat as well as a gusty wind threat around any storms.
(2) Upper level high pressure, acting like a “lid” on the atmosphere, will continue to strengthen particularly Friday and through the weekend with increased sunshine. As that occurs, afternoon highs will rise to above seasonal averages with a few 100 degree temperatures Friday into the weekend especially west and southwest of Austin. In addition, afternoon heat stress index values will rise above 100 degrees. I don’t see any precipitation in our forecast, at this point, for Friday through the weekend.
Based on NWS/Weather Prediction Center guidance, rainfall will average less than 0.25 inch today and tomorrow with no rain expected for the IH35 corridor over the balance of the seven days forecast period.
MY FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
A high to very high confidence forecast continues through the seven day forecast period.
