Will watch closely later this evening into tonight where heavy rainfall rates could result in localized flooding/flash flooding, with the higher chance in the southern Texas Panhandle. Please use caution if traveling, and if you encounter a flooded roadway, Turn Around, Don't Drown.
There is a low chance that some of the storms this evening become strong to severe with large hail and damaging winds being the primary threats.
The severe thunderstorms are most likely to occur this evening.
The chance to see any amount of rain today will be present across all of the Panhandles. Rain chances should shift throughout the day from the northern Panhandles to the southern Texas Panhandles as we go into the evening and overnight hours tonight. Could see areas of heavy rain and a few storms with gusty winds and vivid lightning at times.
To start the three day weekend, rain chances will be present across most of the area. Then for Sunday and Monday, dry conditions and sunshine return to the Panhandles, with temperatures near average with high in the 80's for the last day of August and the first day of September.
With the potential for heavy rain that could lead to localized flooding this weekend, even during overnight hours, now is the time to prepare for the potential impacts. Remember to never drive through flood waters if any flooding does occur.
