Looking ahead: Cooler & Wetter

Isolated severe storms are possible across portions of the Rolling Plains late this afternoon into this evening. Sporadic severe wind gusts and isolated large hail are possible with any storms that do form.

Forecast low temperatures, as well as expected weather conditions, for the region tonight (Saturday, September 26th). A few isolated storms are possible in the Rolling Plains this evening.

Sunday will be mostly sunny and warm to hot. Highs will range from the middle 80s over the southwest Texas Panhandle to the middle 90s in the Rolling Plains.

The combination of an approaching storm system and tropical moisture from the eastern Pacific will lead to widespread rain chances on Tuesday, potentially lingering into Wednesday (Sept 29-30, 2026). It is too early for details, but heavy rain (a couple of inches or more in spots) could lead to a risk of flooding. Stay tuned!

After a warm start to the week, temperatures will trend cooler. Rain chances will exist each day, with the best chance for widespread rainfall occurring Tuesday into Wednesday. Heavy rain and a risk of flooding will peak Tuesday into Wednesday too.
