Severe Weather and Flooding Threats for the Central U.S.; Dangerous Heat in the Southern and Western U.S.

Severe weather and flooding threats will continue for portions of the central U.S. over the next couple of days, with multiple rounds of thunderstorms expected. Dangerous heat will persist across the southern and western U.S. through mid-week. Hot and dry conditions will fuel fire weather concerns for the Intermountain West, where dry thunderstorms may spark additional wildfires. Read More >

Triple digit heat is expected to continue for most as the upper-level weather pattern remains the same. High temperatures up to 99 in the mountains, 109 in the adjacent plains, and 114 in the Rio Grande are possible. As such, a Heat Advisory is in effect for west Texas and most of southeast New Mexico Wednesday afternoon through early evening. Be sure to stay hydrated, limit time outdoors, and take frequent breaks under shade if you must be outdoors.
Weak disturbances aloft and remnant boundaries from yesterday's storms to our north bring a low (10-30%) chance of showers and storms this afternoon and evening. A storm or two may be strong to severe, with damaging winds and large hail up to the size of ping pongs will be the main hazards with the strongest storms. Please note that most locations in the highlighted area will not experience a shower or thunderstorm.
Summer is here across southeast New Mexico and west Texas. This mainly dry and hot weather pattern continues throughout the week.
