Cloudy and cool conditions are expected area-wide this morning, with light winds. Rain showers will linger in the Rolling Plains through the predawn hours.

Isolated thunderstorms, some strong-to-severe, remain possible across the Rolling Plains this afternoon. Damaging winds up to 60 mph and large hail up to the size of half dollars (1.25” in diameter) will be possible should storms develop. High-based showers will also be possible across the Caprock this afternoon. Storm chances will dwindle area-wide by sunset.

The best potential for thunderstorms, some of which may be strong-to-severe, will be in the Rolling Plains this afternoon. High-based showers will be possible across the Caprock otherwise.

High temperatures will rise into the lower-middle 80s for most of the forecast area this afternoon, with temperatures in the upper 80s in the eastern Rolling Plains, following the clearing of the morning clouds. Temperatures will cool off overnight beneath a mostly clear sky.

A drying trend is forecast across the Caprock this week, with slim chances for thunderstorms Wednesday. Otherwise, breezy and warm conditions are forecast most of the week.

The Rolling Plains will have a better potential for thunderstorms for most next week following a break Monday. Some of the storms may be severe each afternoon.

Local Weather History For April 11th...

2009: A significant severe weather episode impacted portions of southeastern New Mexico and the West Texas Permian Basin
late this afternoon and evening. The storms developed east of a dryline and south of a warm front which advanced northward
over the South Plains region. Cool and stable air north of the frontal boundary precluded widespread severe weather over
much of the South Plains, but a few thunderstorms, including one supercell storm, impacted the far southwestern portions
of the South Plains region. While Doppler radar indicated the potential for a tornado with this storm over southern Yoakum
County, no tornado was confirmed. Large hail and damaging thunderstorm winds, however, were observed. These winds caused
$15,000 in damages to utility poles and lines along HWY 83 west of Denver City.
