AUSTIN / IH35 CORRIDOR
MY SEVEN DAY WEATHER THOUGHTS
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …

After some rain showers and thunderstorms on Sunday, a more stable and drier
late summer weather pattern is setting up as we move into our new week. I do
not see any precipitation over the next seven day forecast period.

In addition, with elevated to dangerous afternoon and evening heat stress
over the next seven days, a friendly reminder to please stay hydrated and
take it easy out there in the afternoon into evening hours.

Finally, we continue to see drought conditions worsen overall over the area and
vegetation continues to dry out, wildfire danger continues to slowly increase
over our area. So far, winds have been relatively light so the danger has been
limited. As we wrap up summer in September and head into the fall months, this
danger will likely continue to get worse assuming no precipitation (which I’m not
really seeing in longer range climate outlooks). Another thing we need to monitor
are any early fall season cold fronts and any stronger northerly winds that might
occur with frontal passage. As I mention, at this time, I do not see either of these
things happening in the next couple of weeks, but I will continue to monitor
things closely. Burns bans continue for our IH35 counties so I would strongly
discourage any outdoor burning.

LOCAL FORECAST CONFIDENCE FOR THIS SEVEN DAY FORECAST PERIOD …
