Potential Severe Storms Today
Rain Chances Today and Tomorrow
Wed Severe Potential
Heavy Rainfall Tuesday Through Thursday
Excessive Rain Chances Tuesday and Wednesday
A few isolated to scattered storms could develop along a boundary across the eastern Panhandles this afternoon and evening, posing a risk for large hail, damaging winds, and a low isolated tornado threat. Strong capping and drier air will be in place further west, making storms less likely outside of our eastern areas.

Current trends have storm chances pulled to the east for this afternoon into the overnight hours, but will spread west through Wednesday - Wed night. Although rain coverage gradually increases for the western and central Panhandles, heavier rainfall totals will still mostly stay confined to the east.

Wednesday we will see another marginal risk for severe storms across the central to southeastern combined Panhandles. Hazards include hail up to the size of quarters, 60 mph winds, and a very low chance of tornadoes.

As this next system moves through the Panhandles, localized heavy rain is expected over the next 48 hours. The placement of low pressure and timing of a cold front continually suggest the southeast counties of the TX Panhandle should receive the brunt of the rain, with amounts quickly diminishing to the northwest. Keep in mind these totals will change as our confidence increases with the forecast.
Read More...
Multiple rounds of rainfall through Wed night could lead to flooding for portions of the Panhandles. Confidence in heavy rainfall is highest across the SE TX Panhandle, but saturated soils further west could still support flooding as well. Rain rates of 1-3"/hour from these storms would increase our chances of flooding, especially in urban and low-lying areas. Turn around, don't drown!
