Last Map Update: Mon, Jun 1, 2026 at 5:46:11 pm CDT

Isolated to scattered storms may develop by mid to late afternoon across the Panhandles. Storms are expected to slowly move east today and any storms could become severe. The primary hazard will be damaging wind gusts followed by large hail.
Thunderstorms may begin to form around 3-4 PM this afternoon across the central and western Panhandles. These storms may become severe and move off to the east. Any storms that form should weaken and become sub-severe by 10 PM this evening.
Another low end risk for severe storms is expected on Tuesday afternoon into the evening. If any severe storms do form, large hail and damaging wind gusts would be the primary hazards. Showers and storms may continue into early Wednesday morning, but the severe threat should decrease.
A slight chance for showers and thunderstorms exist Monday into Monday evening across parts of the combined Panhandles. Highest confidence exist across the northeast especially after 7 PM. There is a low chance for any storms to become severe with large hail and damaging winds.
After a lack of rain chances today, moisture will return to the Panhandles on Monday but more so on Tuesday through Thursday. With a low pressure system moving in across the western US, this will allow for daily chances for showers and storms to develop over the Southern Plains. Severe storms will be possible during this time frame as well, but confidence in widespread severe storms is low at this time.
