AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
(1) With rich low level moisture in place, rain and thunderstorm chances will continue on and off through the week and into our upcoming weekend even though rain chances are reduced a bit.
(2) A more stable weather pattern returns as high pressure aloft develops overhead by late Sunday into next week. As sunshine returns, temperatures will climb back to seasonal averages early next week.
Based on NWS/Weather Prediction Center guidance, 0.25 inch of rainfall is expected for our IH35 corridor counties over the next seven day period.
MY FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
High to very high confidence through the next seven days.
