Weather Forecast
The ERCOT Weather Forecast is developed by ERCOT Meteorologists Chris Coleman and Mark Witte. The interactive map displays today’s temperature information for major cities located within the ERCOT grid. Hover over a city to see the most recent temperature forecast.
Note: A Weather Zone is a geographic region designated by ERCOT in which climatological characteristics are similar for all areas within such region. This map displays the various Weather Zones that exist within the ERCOT footprint, but it does not necessarily include all counties that have participation within the ERCOT market.

General Discussion:
Showers and thunderstorms blossomed over southeast Texas again during the overnight hours. A Flood Watch and Flood Warnings continue in effect across several southeast Texas counties. Showers and thunderstorms, some possibly severe, will continue across Texas through the weekend. More heavy rain is possible across North and South-Central Texas on Saturday and Sunday. Conditions will begin to dry out early next week along with gradually warmer temperatures into the latter part of next week. The combination of very warm temperatures and high humidity will bring elevated heat indices for much of Texas through next Thursday. A cold front is forecast to push south across Texas late Thursday ushering in cooler and more seasonal temperatures by Friday and into the weekend.
