AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
(1) A dry and stable weather pattern continues as upper level high pressure, acting like a “lid” on the atmosphere, remains overhead.
(2) A weak cold front has “backdoored” its way into our area coming in from the northeast. No precipitation is expected given the stable atmosphere in place.
(3) By late in the weekend and into early next week, it appears that Gulf of Mexico moisture flow will increase a bit as our atmosphere becomes more unstable. There is a weak tropical system over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico that may become part of the forecast story, so we’ll need to monitor this. Based on the latest guidance, I will continue the chance of rain showers and thunderstorms into the forecast beginning on Tuesday mainly timed with maximum daytime heating and in areas along and east of the IH35 corridor.
NWS/Weather Prediction Center rainfall guidance, over the next seven days, is predicting little in the way of rainfall – any rainfall amounts should around 1 inch.
MY FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
High to very high forecast confidence through Monday
