The ERCOT Weather Forecast is developed by ERCOT Meteorologists Chris Coleman, 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:
We'll see a brief warming trend heading into Saturday before another cold front returns near-normal to below-normal temperatures for Sunday and Monday. Most of the state will warm up again for Tuesday just ahead of yet another, stronger cold front. This second cold front has the potential to give some cities their coldest temperatures of the season so far. Some showers and thunderstorms are expected across East Texas with the first front on Saturday and some precipitation is expected with the second front on Tuesday-Wednesday, though there is lower confidence in the precipitation forecast for the second front at this time.
Today:
Mostly cloudy with light showers possible across East Texas; partly cloudy across West Texas. Highs in the upper 40s to mid-60s.
This Weekend:
Warmer for much of the state on Saturday ahead of a cold front with highs mainly in the 70s and 80s outside of the Panhandle and Far West Texas. Chance for showers and thundertstorms on Saturday (some potentially severe) across East Texas as well ahead of the front. Cooler temperatures again on Sunday with highs from the 40s across North Texas to the low 70s in the Rio Grande Valley.
