AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
(1) In a pretty classic overrunning pattern, additional upper level disturbances will move eastward over the area with gulf moisture streaming northward and overrunning the slightly cooler air at the surface. As a result of the atmospheric lift produced, rain showers and thunderstorms look to become scattered to numerous across the area today through tomorrow.
(2) A drier and more stable weather pattern will prevail with increased sunshine for Thursday into Friday.
(3) Another set of upper air disturbances will combine with low level moisture and atmospheric instability to produce scattered rain showers and thunderstorms for late Saturday into Sunday.
South central Texas forecast rainfall amounts over the next seven days, as predicted by the NWS/Weather Prediction Center, will average 1 to 2 inches.
MY FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
High confidence
