AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
(1) Surface high pressure has settled into Texas from the northwest. A mostly clear sky continues as temperatures warm back to above seasonal averages today.
(2) By tonight into tomorrow, surface high pressure will move east of the area allowing a return south southeasterly wind with an increase in low level moisture. This will allow for the development of low clouds and even a little patchy fog late tonight into tomorrow and again for Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
(3) Another stronger upper level trough, or line, of low pressure will move eastward across Texas by Wednesday afternoon with an attendant dry cold front moving through with some clouds. Under a clearing sky, much cooler air will settle in for Wednesday night into Christmas Eve.
(4) With abundant sunshine, temperatures will once again warm again Christmas Day into the upcoming weekend.
(5) Another cold front will move across the area on Sunday. At this point, I do not expect much in the way of clouds or precipitation.
NWS/Weather Prediction Center rainfall guidance, over the next seven days, is forecasting no rainfall for the IH35 corridor.
MY FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
