The ERCOT Weather Forecast is developed by ERCOT Meteorologists Chris Coleman, Mia Schroller, 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:
Hot and humid conditions are generally expected this week with notably lower rain chances. After a muggy morning, high temperatures will climb into the 90s for many Monday afternoon. While much of the state will stay dry, spotty showers and thunderstorms will be possible along the Gulf Coast and across South Central and East Texas in particular.
A relatively dry weather pattern will take over in the coming days as temperatures gradually warm. Morning 70s followed by afternoon 90s will be a common theme this week, before a stalling cold front attempts to spark slightly better rain chances across the Panhandle and North Texas this upcoming weekend. A secondary front may push into parts of the ERCOT Region early next week, which could allow for a brief drop in temperatures as added cloud cover and additional rain chances attempt to take shape.
Today:
Hot and humid. Highs in the upper 80s and low 90s. Heat indices in the upper 90s and low 100s. Spotty showers and thunderstorms are expected across the Coastal, Eastern, and South Central zones.
Tomorrow:
Hot and humid. Lows in the 70s and 80s followed by highs in the 90s. Heat indices in the upper 90s. Most areas will remain dry, but isolated showers will be possible along the Coast and across West Central Texas in particular.
