Weather Forecast Details
General Discussion:
System-wide temperatures will gradually decrease in the coming days as better rain chances return to the ERCOT Region. While still warm Friday, spotty downpours and thunderstorms are forecast to develop across the South Central, Southern, and Coastal zones. This trend will continue into Saturday, when slightly higher coverage will be possible. Highs remain warm to end the week, especially for the northern half of the state where upper 90s and a few low 100s will continue.
A weak front will then move into the state early next week, increasing rain chances for Monday and Tuesday in particular. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected, with the highest totals currently favoring parts of Central and East Texas where 1"-2"+ can't be ruled out. Temperatures fall into the 80s and 90s during this timeframe, before a drier and much warmer weather pattern takes shape by the end of the week.
Today:
Mostly to partly sunny skies. Isolated to scattered downpours and thunderstorms are forecast along the Coast, as well as across portions of South Central, South, and Southeast Texas. Highs in the 90s, transitioning to a few low 100s across portions of North and West Texas.
This Weekend:
Increasing cloud cover. Spotty downpours and thunderstorms are forecast along the Coast, as well as across portions of South Central, South, and Southeast Texas on Saturday. Rain chances then increase for parts of North and Northeast Texas on Sunday. Lows in the 70s and 80s followed by highs in the 90s.
