New daily record high temperatures were set at Abilene and San Angelo the past few days as an unseasonably warm airmass was in place. Temperatures were twenty degrees above normal for this time of year.
There is a Marginal Risk for severe storms Wednesday afternoon and evening. Although widespread severe weather is not expected, showers and storms will develop and some of these storms could become strong to severe. The main hazards are lightning, damaging wind gusts and locally heavy rainfall.
There is a Marginal Risk on Wednesday and a Marginal to Slight Risk for excessive rainfall on Thursday, potentially leading to flash flooding across parts of West Central Texas. Rain showers and thunderstorms chances are high (70-80%) Wednesday night into Thursday, as a disturbance develops across the region. A frontal passage on Thursday will provide additional support for this activity. Rainfall totals may range from 1 to 2 inches with locally higher amounts over 3 inches.
