Texas Weather Update: Rain On The Horizon, Temperatures Taking A Dip

The summer heatwave has finally broken, and we’re on our way into an active stretch of weather across Texas. We’re not talking hurricanes, derechos, or sharnadoes, but at least a week of daily thunderstorm chances are in the cards. Hopefully and probabilistically, nearly all of Texas should receive at least a touch of rain over the coming week. Some lucky folks are going to end up with a bucket-full!

Today’s highest chance for scattered thunderstorms will be across the southeastern half of Texas. We’ve already had a few storms this morning in the Hill Country and Southeast Texas. We’ll see a continuation of that this afternoon as more activity develops. Tonight and Wednesday will be the same, though tomorrow’s activity may be a bit more widespread, and we will try to make a run farther north into Northern Texas. Isolated storms are also possible across the western third of Texas this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon. Locally heavy rainfall will be possible with storms this week, but they’ll be hit-or-miss.

Rain Chances Expand Later this Week

Scattered showers and storms will occur daily across Texas over the next week. Beginning Thursday and continuing through the weekend, we’ll see those rain chances increase across the northwestern half of Texas and the southeastern half of the state, which has gotten a head start. It won’t rain every day in every location, but the weather radars will get a workout after a primarily dry August. Depending on which weather model solution you prefer, we may continue with the wet weather well into next week or start heading back toward a late-summer look.

Nearly all of Texas is forecast to receive at least a trace of rain over the next five to seven days. Through Sunday, the Coastal Plains and Southeast Texas have the highest chance of receiving several inches of rain. However, isolated pockets of West Texas, Permian Basin, and Hill Country may receive heavy rain as well.

I don’t think summer is over, but I hope we’re past its worst. Regardless, temperatures will trend lower over the coming days with the popup rain chances and residual cloud cover. Even if you end up in the upper 80s or 90s in the afternoon hours, you may get a natural cool-down from Mother Nature courtesy of one of the popup thunderstorms!

Widespread severe thunderstorms are not expected. Our upcoming weather stretch doesn’t favor big-time hailers, long-lived wind-makers, or spinny-spinny doom-doom issues. Of course, never say never because that’s a good way to get an ‘oopsie.’ However, we’re looking forward to the upcoming less hot stretch of weather!
