Weather Forecast
The ERCOT Weather Forecast is developed by ERCOT Meteorologists Chris Coleman, Mia Montgomery, 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.
Weather Forecast Details
General Discussion:
Another warm day is forecast Wednesday with high temperatures in the 70s and 80s across the state. While not quite as gusty as Tuesday, strong winds are still expected across parts of the Panhandle and Far West Texas, leading to elevated fire danger concerns and areas of blowing dust.
Above-normal temperatures will continue through the remainder of the week, but a cold front will gradually move through the ERCOT Region in the Thursday-through-Saturday timeframe. Cooler air will gradually progress southward over the weekend, allowing temperatures to fall to near-normal or below-normal levels by Sunday. The coldest mornings of the foreseeable future are expected on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday before a warming trend takes over for the second half of next week.
As far as precipitation goes, any rain chances look rather minimal with only a few light showers possible across Far East Texas Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
Today:
Mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies. Highs in the 70s and 80s. Warmer across the Rio Grande Valley, where highs in the 80s and low 90s are likely. Windy in the Panhandle and Far West Texas, where areas of blowing dust and elevated fire danger concerns are expected.
Tomorrow:
Patchy morning fog, then mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies. Lows in the 40s, 50s, and 60s followed by highs in the 70s and 80s. Warmer across the Rio Grande Valley, where highs in the 80s and 90s are likely. Lingering wind gusts in the Panhandle and Far West Texas, where areas of blowing dust and elevated fire danger concerns are expected.
