AUSTIN / IH35 CORRIDOR
MY SEVEN DAY WEATHER THOUGHTS
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
A dry and stable air mass is holding across our area.
Clouds pick up a bit by Thursday and Friday into the weekend as a low pressure system
looks to develop over the southwestern Gulf and moves north and northeastward with us
remaining on the drier side of the system. In addition, an upper level Pacific low pressure
system, is forecast to approach the area from the west but will encounter little of the way
of moisture. As a result, clouds may increase a bit but that’s about it.
Sunshine return for the weekend with continued above average temperatures.
It’s too early to call details yet, in addition to being just beyond the seven day forecast
period, but a more unsettled weather pattern may set up next week as we see another
weather pattern change begin over Texas. The NWS/Climate Prediction Center 8 to 14 Day
Outlook, in addition, suggests this. More clouds and rain chances? We’ll have to see…
MY LOCAL FORECAST CONFIDENCE FOR THIS SEVEN DAY FORECAST PERIOD …
– A very high forecast confidence now through Thursday night
– A high forecast confidence Friday into early next week
