AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES…
(1) The atmosphere will continue to be quite stable locally today as a cold front moves south southeastward across the Red River by later today.
(2) As the air mass destabilizes a bit, the front will wash out as it moves southward through north Texas and approaches our area tomorrow; in advance of the front, I will maintain slim rain chances in the forecast for the time period beginning late tonight.
(2) By late in the day tomorrow into tomorrow night, the front is expected to wash out just north of our area as the atmosphere becomes more stable once again.
(3) A more stable environment will prevail with sunshine for the upcoming weekend with temperatures continuing to be well above average.
(4) A significant cold front is on tap for late Sunday night into Monday morning with a slim chance of rain and a cooler temperatures to follow. For the first time in a while, temperatures following the front will be closer to season averages (what we expect this time of year).
