Extended Forecast

Mild conditions are expected tonight with building cloud cover overnight. Highs will be cooler Tuesday with rainfall.

A Flood Watch remains in effect for portions of the South Plains and the far southwestern Texas Panhandle, beginning Tuesday morning and continuing through midday on Wednesday. Total rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are expected, with localized swaths of 3 to 4 inches possible. These areas already received several inches of rain over the last week. Flooding is possible. We will continue to monitor and update as necessary.

Portions of the far southern Texas Panhandle and South Plains are in a Moderate Risk (level 3 of 4) for excessive rainfall/flash flooding on Tuesday, September 29th. Much of the Rolling Plains and far southeast Texas Panhandle is in a Slight Risk (level 2 of 4). Swaths of 2 to 3 inches of rain are possible. Never drive across flooded roadways!

Along with the expected rainfall, severe weather is also possible Tuesday afternoon/evening. Storms may produce wind gusts to 70 mph and quarter sized hail. Tornadoes are unlikely, but cannot be completely ruled out.

A slow-moving system will interact with tropical moisture, resulting in numerous showers and scattered storms Tuesday-Wednesday. There is potential for heavy rainfall exceeding 2". The exact location of the heaviest rain may still shift, but the latest thinking is that the best chance for 2+ inches of rain is across the far southwestern Texas Panhandle and the northern South Plains. This heavy rainfall may lead to flooding. Remember: Turn Around, Don't Drown!
