AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS / IH35 CORRIDOR
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
(1) The cold front that passed through the area yesterday is returning back northward as a warm front with cloud cover and enhanced rain chances persisting through tomorrow as an upper air disturbance, creating atmospheric lift, moves overhead.
(2) In the wake of the upper air system, well above average temperatures and minimal rain chances will persist Sunday into Monday.
(3) A stronger cold front is forecast to move into Texas by late Monday night with the front passing through our IH35 corridor after midnight. Rain and thunderstorm chances will be enhanced by the front with clouds and rain chances
(4) Following the cold front, drier and cooler air, the coolest air of the fall season so far, will move into the area for Tuesday into Wednesday as skies partially clear.
(5) Clouds will return by Thursday as another weather system approaches from the west.
At this point, I will hold off on any rain chances until I become more confident of any precipitation.
Based on NWS/Weather Prediction Center guidance, average, but rather uncertain, rainfall of 0.75″ to 1.00″ inch is forecast for our IH35 corridor counties over the next seven day period.
MY LOCAL FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
An overall medium confidence forecast with lower confidence concerning rainfall amounts.
