Weather Forecast Details

General Discussion:
Similar temperatures are expected again Thursday as highs climb into the 80s and low 90s this afternoon. The vast majority of the state will stay dry, minus a few isolated rain chances across Far South and Far West Texas. Minimal daily change is expected into the upcoming weekend as near-normal to above-normal temperatures continue.

Temperatures across the ERCOT Region will build by a few degrees early next week as lows return to the 70s and highs return to the widespread 90s. While exact timing, location, and strength will need to be fine-tuned in the coming days, long-range models continue to hint at a cold front arriving by late week, around the October 16-17 timeframe. Rain chances with this next disturbance could move into Far West Texas as early as Monday, before gradually spreading eastward in the days that follow. Cooler system temperatures will be possible to start the second half of the month, potentially falling to near-normal or below-normal.

In tropical news, Isaias has strengthened into a hurricane and is moving into the Central Gulf this morning. Latest forecast guidance suggests that the system will take a northward turn and make landfall along the Alabama or Florida coastlines late Friday. Impacts to Texas are not expected, with forecasts keeping the rainfall east of the state, stretching from Louisiana to Florida. 

Today:
Sunny to mostly sunny skies for the majority of the state. Skies turn partly cloudy across Far South and Far West Texas, where isolated to widely scattered showers will be possible. Highs in the 80s and 90s.

Tomorrow:
Sunny to mostly sunny skies for the majority of the state. Skies turn partly cloudy across Far South and Far West Texas, where isolated rain chances continue. Lows in the 60s and 70s followed by highs in the 80s and 90s.
