AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES…

(1) The atmosphere has become more stable once again. Afternoon high temperatures will continue well above average over the next 24 hours. 

(3) The upper level high, acting like a “lid” on the atmosphere, will shift more west and northwest of our area allowing for a little destablization of the atmosphere beginning tomorrow. A cold front will move southward into Texas from the north and settle into south central Texas and the local area as it becomes stationary. At it closest approach to our local area, beginning tomorrow, I will include a chance of rain showers and thunderstorms.

(3) In what is now a medium to high confidence forecast, it looks like a dry and more stable weather situation for Friday through most of the Labor Day weekend. That being said, some models trying to bring a slug of very moist and unstable air moving west northwestward off the Gulf of Mexico beginning early next week. At this point, I will keep a dry weather pattern for the local area through Sunday and Labor Day but, as usual, we need to keep an eye on weather features to the distant east southeast of the local area since these features, if they hold together, could result in rain and thunderstorm chances by late on Labor Day.
