AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES…

(1) A dry and stable weather pattern continues as upper level high pressure continues to act like a “lid” on the atmosphere through Friday. As a result, plenty of sunshine can be expected over the next few days with well above average temperatures. Afternoon heat index will reach upwards of 105° in the afternoon hours.

(2) A west-to-east passing trough of upper level low pressure, well to our north, will weaken the upper level high pressure over our area slightly by the weekend. I really question how much this will result in any rain chances locally, but I will continue, in a low confidence forecast, slim rain chances for Saturday into Sunday.

(3) Any rain chances that appear over the weekend will be dropped from the forecast Sunday as upper level high pressure strengthens a bit with a more stable weather pattern once again becoming established into next week.

(4) I do not see any cold frontal passages / change of air masses over the next seven days.
