Texas Storm Threat Today – More Storms Into Early June

Texas Storm Threat Today – More Storms Into Early June

by

Active weather will continue across Texas for the final days of May and through the first week of June. This doesn’t mean that it will storm every single day in every part of Texas, but we are anticipating thunderstorm chances across the state every day for the next seven days.

Today’s highest risk of severe thunderstorms will be in the Permian Basin, West Texas, Big Country, Concho Valley, Hill Country, and into Central Texas. We expect isolated supercell storms to develop by mid-afternoon in the Trans-Pecos area and extend into eastern New Mexico.

These storms will move east/southeast, posing a risk of extremely large hail, damaging wind gusts, and possibly a few tornadoes. This evening, those storms are expected to grow into a larger line or cluster that will move southeast through the regions mentioned.

A yellow shaded region from Lubbock to San Angelo and Killeen indicates a Level 2 (Scattered Severe Storms) risk, while surrounding green areas show a Level 1 (Isolated Severe Storms) risk. The map includes forecast elements like a tornado risk (low), potential max hail size (baseball), and wind speeds up to 65–75 MPH. Major cities like Fort Worth, Austin, and Midland are labeled. The map is branded by Texas Storm Chasers.

A large blue area, including Lubbock, Midland, San Angelo, and Abilene, indicates a “low” tornado potential. A smaller green zone near Lubbock represents a “very low” risk. The legend categorizes tornado potential from “very low” to “high,” though no areas are marked above low. The map is branded by Texas Storm Chasers and includes geographic markers for cities and highways.

We will be monitoring strong to severe storms well into the pre-dawn hours of Friday as they continue southeast. The most intense storms tonight into Friday morning could produce hail the size of pocket change, damaging straight-line wind gusts, flash flooding, and an alarming amount of cloud-to-ground lightning strikes.

We will see pop-up storm chances continue on Friday and Saturday; however, we hope that severe weather will be less active during this time. This pattern may change by Sunday and especially on Monday, as another series of upper-level storm systems moves into western Texas, resuming our daily thunderstorm occurrences with an increase in severe thunderstorm chances.

Forecast rainfall totals through Monday, June 2nd, showing projected precipitation amounts across Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and surrounding regions. The map uses a color gradient with labeled values to indicate expected rainfall in inches, with localized totals exceeding 2 inches across portions of Central and South Texas. Lesser totals are forecast elsewhere, with some areas under 0.5 inches. Map provided by Pivotal Weather.

It looks like we will remain active into the first week of June in Texas. One positive aspect of our continuing rain chances will be widespread cloud cover, which will help keep afternoon temperatures a bit cooler than average as we approach early summer.
