There is a Slight Risk of severe weather (Level 2 out of 5) today and tonight for the Rolling Plains and the far southeastern Texas Panhandle. Two rounds of severe weather are possible: the first round of chances will be through this evening, and again late tonight into early Saturday morning.

Despite chances for showers and thunderstorms farther east, many areas on the Caprock will also see elevated fire danger today.

Storm chances will continue to increase throughout the rest of the afternoon and into the overnight hours. A few storms may be severe tonight as the cold front moves south through the region. Localized flooding may occur, especially in the Rolling Plains.

Storm chances increasing along and east of I-27 along a cold front moving south across the region. Blustery winds from the north are expected behind the front, with winds transitioning towards the northeast before sunrise. Temperatures will be much cooler compared to the past couple of mornings.

Dry and cooler weather is expected this weekend into early next week before a gradual warm-up beginning Wednesday.
