Severe Thunderstorm Watch

Mild Tonight

Cooler Wednesday

Thursday's Severe Weather

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect for the southern Rolling Plains until 10 PM CDT tonight.

Mild temperatures are expected tonight with the coolest temperatures across the extreme southwestern Texas Panhandle. Clouds will also increase from the north with breezy winds prevailing from the east.

Cooler and cloudy conditions are expected across most of the forecast area tomorrow with light, easterly winds. A slim chance for a late-afternoon thunderstorm exists across the Rolling Plains, though the severe weather threat is low.

A dryline will sharpen near the I-27/US-87 corridor by Thursday afternoon. Instability along and ahead of the dryline should be sufficient for scattered strong to severe thunderstorms to develop and move to the northeast. Large hail and damaging wind gusts are the primary threats.

Local Weather History For April 23rd...

1980: An intense upper air cyclone drew closer to West Texas this afternoon resulting in several strong storms from the
northern TX Panhandle south to the Permian Basin. In the South Plains, nearly four inches of rain fell in less than one
hour in Tahoka causing flash flooding. Some cars were stranded under some of the HWY 87 overpasses requiring high-water
rescues. Water was reported in one home and some residences.
