August rains brought gusty winds, blowing dust, and lightning to the Texas Panhandle last evening. Everyone else baked under the summer sun, and guess what? That’s precisely what we’re going to have happen today, too. It is August, after all. The only way we’ll typically get widespread rains and below-average temperatures is from a hurricane. We don’t have any hurricanes scheduled to visit Texas for at least seven days.
Isolated storms across the Texas Panhandle will be possible this afternoon through Saturday morning. On Saturday, a weak boundary will push south of Interstate 20. Isolated to widely scattered storms may materialize on that boundary in the afternoon hours from the Big Country, North-Central Texas, into the Brazos Valley and East Texas. A few storms are also possible in the Panhandle and West Texas. Most folks won’t see rain, but lightning will be a concern. The southern half of Texas will have the highest (relative) chance for a storm on Sunday.

Excluding this weekend’s isolated storm chances, hot and dry weather will persist across most of Texas over the upcoming week. We’re expecting a continuation of afternoon temperatures in the 90s and 100s. While we’re not dealing with the prolonged nastiness of last summer, we will crank out a string of triple-digit days. We may have some weather changes in about nine days.
A tropical disturbance will likely become Debby this weekend as it approaches Florida. No direct impacts to Texas are expected, but it could prove problematic for the Gulf-facing portions of Florida early next week.
