There are very low (10-30%) chances for a storm or two across the southeast this evening ahead of a cold front. These storms could be severe with large hail and damaging wind gusts if they form near Wellington. Additional storms may form very early Friday morning and these storms could become strong to potentially severe, with the primary hazard being large hail if severe storms form. The storm hazards and development overnight are uncertain, so keep up to date with any forecast changes.
Expecting some lingering rain and clouds Friday morning, but if clouds can clear and we can warm up enough, an isolated storm will be possible in the late afternoon. If that happens, then a strong to severe storm cannot be ruled out with large hail and damaging winds the most likely hazard. A line of storms may develop Friday evening which will could produce damaging wind gusts up to 70 mph. Heavy rain is expected with any thunderstorm which could produce localized flooding.
If rain and clouds move out early enough in the day and enough warming occurs, then we could see an isolated thunderstorm develop in the late afternoon with a potential for large hail and damaging winds, and a tornado cannot be ruled out. A line of storms will potentially develop Friday evening and move eastward. Strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible with the primary threat being damaging wind gusts.
Thunderstorms that occur on Friday will produce heavy rain. Localized flash flooding will be possible for locations that see prolonged heavy rainfall, or for locations that are prone to flash flooding such as urban areas and Palo Duro Canyon.
Thunderstorms may develop in the afternoon on Saturday. There is a low potential for these storms to become strong to severe, with the primary hazards being large hail and damaging winds. The severe thunderstorm threat should diminish Saturday night.
Thunderstorms will produce heavy rain on Saturday which could lead to localized flash flooding. This is especially true for urban areas and other flash flood prone locations such as Palo Duro Canyon.
We are expecting widespread mid-90s to low-100s across the Panhandles. There is at least a moderate chance to reach or exceed 100°F for most of the combined Panhandles.
