The ERCOT Weather Forecast is developed by ERCOT Meteorologists Chris Coleman, Mia Schroller, Brandon Gale, and Christi Eastham. 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:
Wednesday will feature yet another hot and humid afternoon with high temperatures in the widespread 90s and heat indices in the upper 90s and low 100s. Rain chances will stay rather minimal, minus a few isolated showers across South Central, South, and Southeast Texas in the morning and in Far West Texas in the afternoon.
System-wide temperatures will warm slightly for the remainder of the week before changes to our weather pattern start to take shape by early next week. A stalled front across Far North Texas could spark a few rain chances near the Red River Friday and Saturday before a secondary, weak front starts to move into much of the ERCOT Region by Monday. This, combined with a plume of tropical moisture, will likely produce scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms Monday and Tuesday. Rounds of heavy rainfall will need monitoring with this next system, with early forecasts suggesting that pockets of 2" to 3" can't be ruled out for parts of the state during this timeframe.
Today:
Hot and humid, with partly to mostly sunny skies. Highs in the 90s. Heat indices in the upper 90s and low 100s. A few light, morning showers possible across South Central, South, and Southeast Texas, followed by spotty rain across Far West Texas in the afternoon.
Tomorrow:
Hot and humid, with partly to mostly sunny skies. Lows in the 70s. Highs in the 90s for most, but portions of Far West and Northwest Texas may aproach 100 degrees. Heat indices in the upper 90s and low 100s. A few light, morning showers are once again possible across South Central, South, and Southeast Texas, followed by spotty rain across Far West Texas in the afternoon.
