NOAA Weather Radio Info

Warm temperatures are expected today with mostly sunny skies. A critical risk of fire weather conditions will exist across the extreme southwestern Texas Panhandle this afternoon due to breezy, dry, and warm conditions.

Monday's highs are likely to approach record warm values for the day as temperatures soar into the mid 80s to near 90 degrees during the afternoon. Elevated to near-critical fire danger is also expected area-wide.

A slight risk of severe storms will exist from Tuesday afternoon through Tuesday evening. The best chances for storms will be off the caprock and will be capable of producing large hail, damaging wind gusts, and isolated tornadoes.

Thunderstorms are possible across the entire region on Tuesday. Low chances exist during the morning and afternoon hours along and west of I-27. Better chances for storms exist during the afternoon and evening off the Caprock. Some of these storms may become severe.

We will see increased chances of showers and thunderstorms on Tuesday followed by breezy and cooler conditions on Wednesday after a cold front.
