Plenty of sunshine is expected today across the region with highs in the upper 70s to mid 80s.

Saturday will be breezy across most of the region with some storms possible off the Caprock both during the morning and evening. Dry and sunny conditions expected area-wide on Sunday.

Storms will be possible both Saturday morning and Saturday evening, mainly across the Rolling Plains. Some storms may become severe. Dry conditions are expected along and west of I-27.

Thunderstorms are expected to spread over the southern Rolling Plains early Saturday morning. Some severe storms are possible, with large hail the primary hazard.

There is a lot of uncertainty on whether storms will develop over the Rolling Plains on Saturday evening, or if these storms remain entirely to our east. If storms do develop, they will be capable of all severe hazards.

Local Weather History For April 26th...

1998: Widely-scattered supercell thunderstorms developed throughout the region by early this afternoon. One storm tracked
across Parmer and Castro Counties dropping hail up to two inches in diameter and also producing a brief tornado east of
Hart causing $5,000 in property damage. Unfortunately, lightning from a second supercell storm claimed the life of a 37
year-old male farmer south of Hale Center in Hale County. This latter supercell also produced a strong two-minute tornado
just north of Hale Center that inflicted over $100,000 in damages to structures alone. Two people in this tornados path
narrowly escaped injury by seeking shelter in a small interior closet just moments before their ranch-style home was
destroyed. This same tornado also heavily damaged a vacant house
