Weather Forecast
The ERCOT Weather Forecast is developed by ERCOT Meteorologists Chris Coleman, Mark Witte, 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.
Weather Forecast Details
General Discussion:
Showers and non-severe thunderstorms continue along the entire length of the Texas Gulf Coast this morning. The rain also extends north into East Texas as well. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to spread north towards the San Antonio and Austin metros later this afternoon. Again, Dallas appears to be on the northern fringe of the rain. This weather pattern of rain, showers, and/or thunderstorms mainly along the Gulf Coast and spreading inland during the afternoon will continue through the upcoming weekend. As a result, afternoon temperatures will also remain relatively cool by late July standards. However, by Monday, the weather pattern will make an abrupt change as an upper-level dome of hot air across the Western U.S. shifts east across Texas bringing more typical, summer-like weather. Hot and mainly dry conditions will prevail across Texas next week with afternoon temperatures approaching the 100-degree mark for the Dallas metro.
Today:
Partly to mostly cloudy with heavy showers and non-severe thunderstorms, especially along the Gulf Coast and East Texas, then developing inland this afternoon. Afternoon highs in the mid- to upper 80s. A south-to-east wind of around 5 mph with higher gusts.
The Weekend:
Partly to mostly cloudy with showers and non-severe thunderstorms, some heavy, along the Gulf Coast then developing inland during the afternoon. Morning lows in the low to mid-70s. Afternoon highs in the mid-80s to low 90s. A south-to-southeast wind of 5 to 15 mph with higher gusts.
