There is a slight risk of severe thunderstorms over most of the forecast area on Thursday. Storms are expected to develop mainly after 4 PM and will be capable of producing large hail, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes.

After a round of morning clouds with some fog and drizzle, storm chances increase by Thursday afternoon as highs reach the 70s and lower 80s. Storms are most likely in the far southeast Texas Panhandle with a few storms elsewhere. Any storms could become severe.

Milder lows in the 40s and 50s develop tonight under increasing clouds.

A Fire Weather Watch is in effect for the far southern Texas Panhandle, South Plains, and much of the Rolling Plains Friday from 11 AM through 8 PM. Warm, dry, and windy conditions will lead to elevated to critical fire weather danger.

A cold front will move through the region Saturday and will cool highs into the 50s and 60s. Temperatures will gradually warm into early next. Rain chances move back into the region by early next week.

Local Weather History For March 4th...

2004: Several severe thunderstorms moved across many of the counties along and east of the Caprock dropping up to 2.5
inches of rain and quarter-sized hail in Crosby County. These beneficial rains were just part of many in 2004 that would
wipe out the effects of the 2003 drought.
