Thunderstorms are likely across the northern combined Panhandles this evening through the overnight hours tonight. Some of the thunderstorms could produce heavy rainfall with at least a 30-50% chance for rainfall rates to exceed 1 inch per hour. This heavy rainfall could lead to flash flooding with isolated rainfall totals upwards of 3-5 inches. If you encounter flooding, remember to turn around and do not drive through it.
There is a low chance for severe thunderstorms tonight across the northern Panhandles. The main hazard with any severe storms will be wind gusts up to 70 mph with a lower chance for large hail up to quarters.
Severe storms may form late this afternoon but will most likely be this evening through early Friday morning if any storms are able to become severe tonight.
Summer heat is on the way early next week for the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles. High temperatures will reach the upper 90s at least with a low to medium chance for hitting the 100 degree mark across most of the area on Monday and Tuesday.
