AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …

(1) With the surface high now moving east of the area into the weekend, south southeasterly surface winds return, temperatures will warm once again to above seasonal averages by the weekend into early next week with abundant sunshine.

(2) Enough low level moisture will be in place and combine with instability and an approaching upper air disturbance from the west to produce scattered rain showers and thunderstorms by Monday into Tuesday and continuing through the middle part of next week. While I will continue to increase rain chances, I will be a bit more conservative in my rain chances until there is a little more consistency in the atmospheric model guidance.

NWS/Weather Prediction Center rainfall guidance, over the next seven days, is now predicting 1.00 to 1.50 inch of rainfall.

MY FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
High to very high confidence through Thursday.
