Our confidence is increasing that an upper-level system will bring heavy rainfall and a risk of flash flooding to West Texas and far southeastern New Mexico Thursday through Friday. Rainfall begins Thursday morning, peaks Thursday night and early Friday morning, and tapers off by Friday afternoon. Runoff will likely cause flash flooding of urban areas and low water crossings, along with rapid water-level rises in local creeks, rivers, and dry arroyos where heavy rainfall occurs. Keep monitoring the latest forecasts at weather.gov/midland

Bands of showers and storms develop over southern areas Thursday morning before spreading northward across the region into Thursday afternoon. The best chance of showers and storms will be in the Lower Trans Pecos and Big Bend. Repeated rounds of heavy rain may result in flash flooding of low lying and poor drainage areas, as well as along creeks, streams, and urban areas.

Scattered to numerous showers and storms will continue to develop over the Permian Basin, Lower Trans Pecos, and far southeast New Mexico during the evening and overnight hours. Heavy rain and flash flood concerns will continue during this time as multiple rounds of showers/storms develop.

Many locations across West Texas and Southeast New Mexico have a good chance (>50%) of receiving >1" of rain Thursday-Friday. Locations from the Permian Basin into the Lower Trans Pecos also have a good chance of receiving >2" of rain with this event.

High temperatures climb back into the mid-to-upper 70s and low 80s through the weekend (near to above normal for this time of year). Increased rain chances and cloud cover keeps temperatures near-to-below normal Friday. Low temperatures generally fall into the upper 50s and low 60s.
