The ERCOT Weather Forecast is developed by ERCOT Meteorologists Chris Coleman, Mia Schroller, and Brandon Gale. 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:
Thursday will once again feature plenty of sunshine and highs in the upper 90s and triple digits across the ERCOT Region.
Temperatures are forecast to build by a degree or two for a few locations on Friday before a weak front moves into the state over the weekend. Drastic changes are not expected, but system-wide temperatures should drop by a few degrees into Sunday.
Widely-separated showers and thunderstorms are forecast to develop along the front as it drifts south. For the lucky few, timing would favor the Panhandle and Far North Texas Friday night, Central Texas on Saturday, and perhaps portions of South Texas Sunday morning.
A drier outlook will then take shape for the first week of August, with temperatures likely in the 90s to low 100s across the majority of the state.
Today:
Mostly sunny to sunny skies and hot. Highs in the upper 90s and 100s. Heat indices upwards of 105+ degrees.
Tomorrow:
Mostly sunny to sunny skies for much of the state. Partly cloudy skies are expected across the Panhandle where spotty showers will be possible. Highs in the upper 90s and 100s. Heat indices upwards of 105-110 degrees. Scattered thunderstorms are expected across the Panhandle and Far North Texas by Friday night.
