AUSTIN / IH35 CORRIDOR
MY SEVEN DAY WEATHER THOUGHTS
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
A dry and stable air mass continues across our area.
Clouds pick up a bit to our distant southeast and east by late tomorrow into Thursday
as a tropical cyclone strengthens over the southwestern Gulf and moves northeastward
toward the north central gulf coast (between New Orleans to Pensacola) then making
landfall with us remaining distant western (and drier) side of the system. In addition, a
weak upper level Pacific low pressure system, is forecast to approach our area from
the west in his period but this system will encounter little of the way of moisture so
clouds should be limited and mainly well to our east.
Sunshine continues for the weekend with continued above average temperatures.
It’s too early to call exact details yet, but a more unsettled weather pattern may set up
next week as we see another weather pattern change begin over Texas. Better rain
chances may show up beyond this seven day forecast period in the middle and latter
part of next week as a cold front arrives.
MY LOCAL FORECAST CONFIDENCE FOR THIS SEVEN DAY FORECAST PERIOD …
– A very high forecast confidence now through Thursday night
– A high forecast confidence Friday through Tuesday
