AUSTIN / IH35 CORRIDOR
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
(1) Isolated rain showers and thunderstorms are possible, mainly south through southwest of our area associated with a passing disturbance along the Rio Grande River, later this afternoon into early this evening before we see a drier and more stable weather pattern, with abundant sunshine, tomorrow through the weekend and into next week.
(2) Upper level high pressure becomes established over our area for the early into mid part of next week with temperatures warming significantly with afternoon high temperatures for the IH35 corridor reaching near the 100 degree mark by the middle part of next week.
Based on NWS/Weather Prediction Center data and guidance, my forecast is for less than 0.05 inch of rainfall (mainly late this afternoon into this evening), on average, for our IH35 corridor counties through the 7 day forecast period which ends in the early morning hours next Thursday.
MY LOCAL FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
A high to very high confidence forecast through the next seven days.
