Rain & Storms Return to Texas starting on Wednesday

by

Extreme wildfire danger and record-high temperatures will give way to thunderstorms and heavy rain chances late this week and into early November. Texas is finally about to break out of the dry weather pattern – though that’ll mean we’ll have to deal with some active weather, too.
Very high to extreme wildfire danger is expected today and tomorrow across the northwestern half to two-thirds of Texas. Increasing winds, low humidity, and hot temperatures will lead to the threat of plume-dominated and wind-driven wildfire behavior. Please be mindful not to cause a spark near the dry brush. Winds may gust over 50 MPH in the Texas Panhandle today and Tuesday.

Very high to extreme wildfire danger is forecast for the northern two-thirds of Texas today and Tuesday.

Some storms may be rowdy with pocket-change-size hail, gusty winds, frequent lightning, and locally heavy rainfall. These storms will begin an active stretch of weather for Texas. The cold front will bring cooler temperatures to the northwestern/northern two-thirds of Texas on Thursday. A freeze is possible Thursday morning in the Panhandle and West Texas.Low temperatures on Thursday will drop to near freezing in the Texas Panhandle and West Texas.

Rain chances will spread back into the northwestern half of Texas on Friday, likely continuing into the weekend. Thunderstorms with heavy rain will become more likely this weekend in parts of the Panhandle, West Texas, Northwest Texas, and Texoma.
