CBS Austin meteorologist Avery Tomasco highlighted the potential of another round of rainstorms and a possible cold front in a social media post on Wednesday, October 7. In a 6-10 day outlook, Tomasco noted the possibility of “above average precipitation” in the works, writing in part: “It’s only a matter of time before heavy returns in an El Niño October.”
Tomasco reiterated that analyzing forecasts beyond a seven-day stretch increases uncertainty and unpredictability, but added that “confidence is increasing” in a slew of low pressure moving toward Texas during the latter half of next week.
“This would set us up for a multi-day rain & storm chance similar to what got the new month started,” he wrote in part. “There will be a cold front in the mix as well sometime next weekend, perhaps a strong one. Stay tuned, scallywags.”
Over at the National Weather Service, NWS’ Austin and San Antonio office also teased a cold front down the road — but that doesn’t mean temperatures and dew points won’t rise beforehand.
“By Monday morning low temperatures and humidity levels will take a significant turn upward, giving us that sticky October air that we are accustomed to,” NWS’ long-term area forecast discussion on Wednesday read in part.
Moisture moving inland next week will bring with it some added traction as an “eventual cold front draw closer.”
