Temperatures

A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until 9 PM CDT for the Permian Basin, Lower Trans Pecos, Stockton Plateau, and Big Bend. Very large hail, damaging winds, and a tornado or two are all possible. Have multiple ways to receive warnings and be ready to seek shelter.

There is a medium chance of storms becoming severe across the east-central Permian Basin down through the Lower Trans Pecos this afternoon and evening. There will be more storms than what was seen yesterday but will still be quite scattered. Should any severe storms form, large to very large hail and and damaging winds are the main concerns but an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out.

Storms look to get going across the Davis Mountain foothills to Fort Stockton around noon, then spreading through Pecos County and into the southwest Permian Basin from 2-4pm. The storms continue to spread through the Permian Basin and lower Trans Pecos through the late afternoon/early evening before departing around sunset.

A Red Flag Warning is in effect for Wednesday afternoon and early evening across the Sacramento/Guadalupe Mountains and the Chaves/Eddy County plains. Do not set any fires on Wednesday and properly dispose of those cigarette butts!

Highs in the upper 80s to 90s continue into the end of the week. Showers and storms remain possible to the east each afternoon.
