Breezy southerly winds continue. Skies will vary between mostly clear and partly cloudy, and a few isolated storms are possible on the Caprock both tonight and Monday evening.
Scattered storms developing on Tuesday afternoon may be capable of becoming severe with large hail, damaging wind gusts, isolated tornadoes, and heavy rainfall. Monitor forecast updates and stay weather aware on Tuesday.
Scattered storms are expected to develop beginning Tuesday afternoon, some of which could be strong to severe. Storm chances increase into the evening and overnight, and locally heavy rainfall is a concern.
Additional thunderstorms are likely on Wednesday, and an unseasonably moist airmass will result in high rainfall rates. This may lead to swaths of rainfall over 2", capable of producing flooding. Check back for updates as the forecast becomes clearer.
Storms are likely mid-week, with some severe storms or flooding rains possible on Tuesday and Wednesday. Precipitation chances gradually diminish into the weekend. Temperatures will be seasonably warm at the start of the week but trend much cooler by Friday, accompanied by breezy northerly winds late in the week.
