AUSTIN / IH35 CORRIDOR
MY SEVEN DAY WEATHER THOUGHTS
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
A dry weather pattern continues as surface high pressure moves east of the area.
This will allow temperatures to warm as moisture levels slowly increase.
There are some indications that another area of low pressure will approach the area
from the west by late weekend into early next week but other than a slight increase
in cloud cover, I will hold off on any mention of precipitation for now at least
through Monday.
MY LOCAL FORECAST CONFIDENCE FOR THIS SEVEN DAY FORECAST PERIOD …
– A high to very high forecast confidence now through Monday.
