Extended Forecast

Breezy, cloudy, and cool conditions are expected across most of the forecast area today with the exception of the eastern Rolling Plains where some cloud breaks will boost temperatures into the middle 70s. Chances for showers and thunderstorms will be greatest near the New Mexico state line, where brief downpours and small hail will be the primary hazard with storms. Storm chances are expected to diminish quickly towards the I-27 corridor, but an isolated storm cannot be ruled out this afternoon. The severe weather threat is low today.

The graphic above shows the rainfall probabilities for today. The highest chances for rain will be near the New Mexico state line, with chances quickly dropping off eastward towards the I-27 corridor.

Coverage of showers and storms will gradually diminish after dark with lingering chances remaining intact near the New Mexico state line. Expected a breezy, cloudy, cool, and humid night with low temperatures ranging in the 50s. The coolest temperatures will be across the Rolling Plains.

Rainfall chances are expected today through Monday morning with the greatest potential for 0.5" of rainfall across the far southwest Texas Panhandle and northwest South Plains. Locally heavy rain at times this weekend could result in minor flooding.

Rain chances continue through Monday morning with near normal temperatures in the 70s to 80s. Temperatures will warm to above normal into the 80s and lower 90s later this week with no precipitation chances through next weekend. A weak cold front may bring short-lived relief to the warm temperatures Thursday.
