The ERCOT Weather Forecast is developed by ERCOT Meteorologists Chris Coleman, Mia Montgomery, 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:
Today will be the stormiest and coolest day this week across the ERCOT System. Tomorrow through the end of the week looks dry for the vast majority of the state, with precipitation mostly limited to along and near the Texas Gulf Coast. As a result, temperatures will pop significantly hotter tomorrow, with that trend continuing through at least Friday. Thursday, Friday, and possibly Saturday have 100-degree potential for the majority of the state, with upper 90s to lower 100s common.
Today:
An area of showers and thunderstorms is seen moving south across the eastern half of Texas this morning. By early-afternoon, Houston to San Antonio will have rain chances, with areas to the north trending drier. Highs this afternoon will range from the upper 80s to mid-90s for all but the hotter Rio Grande Valley. This will be cooler than yesterday ahead of an increase in heat tomorrow.
Tomorrow:
Rain chances on Tuesday will be mostly limited to the Gulf Coast region, with better chances south of Houston. This precipitation will be much lighter and more scattered than today; as a result, temperatures will pop several degrees hotter.
