AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …

(1) A drier and more stable weather pattern will prevail overhead through the weekend into early next week as upper level high pressure strengthens.

(2) It’s too early to call specifics at this time, but in a low to medium confidence forecast, it looks like a slug of tropical moisture over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico may begin to edge west northwestward into Mexico mainly south of Brownsville by early into the middle part of next week. There are still many uncertainties with this system.. both in future track and how much it will develop so we’ll just need to watch closely. If this verifies, we could see some rain chances mainly south of Austin as early as late Tuesday into Wednesday. There are continuing signs that these rain chances will be continuing into the longer 8 to 14 day outlook period for our area of the state.

Based on NWS/Weather Prediction Center guidance, 0.25 to 0.50 inch rainfall is forecast for our IH35 corridor over the next seven day forecast period.

MY FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
High to very high confidence into the weekend before a low to medium confidence forecast sets in by early to mid parts of next week.
