Texas Panhandle Overnight Severe Storms & Tornado Watch – Nov. 1-2, 2026 Live Coverage

Posted on 11/02/2026
|

Severe storms are pushing out of eastern New Mexico into the Texas Panhandle tonight, and a Tornado Watch is in effect. We're live with radar, warnings and storm tracking until the threat winds down early Monday morning. The main window runs about 10 PM to 4 AM Central, with damaging wind gusts up to 75 mph and a few quick spin-up tornadoes possible. Most of this happens in the dark, so make sure you've got a way to get warnings that will wake you up.

It's Texas Storm Chasers live severe weather coverage for Sunday night, Nov. 1 into Monday morning, Nov. 2.

Texas Storm Chasers is independent weather media, not an official source. If a warning is issued for your county, act on it right away. Official warnings come from NWS Amarillo, NWS Lubbock and your local officials.

WHAT'S HAPPENING TONIGHT
A cluster of storms in eastern New Mexico is racing east-northeast into the Panhandle. Low-level wind shear is unusually strong for November this far west, so we're watching for brief tornadoes tucked inside the line, not just wind. These storms move fast, and warnings may not give you much lead time.

TIMING
Western Panhandle and the New Mexico line: roughly 10 PM to midnight.
Amarillo and the I-40 corridor: around midnight to 1 AM.
Eastern Panhandle: the early morning hours, with storms pushing into Oklahoma by sunrise.
Times shift with the storms. Watch the radar, not the clock.

PANHANDLE AND SOUTH PLAINS
NWS Lubbock has the highest severe risk over the southwestern Texas Panhandle and the northern South Plains. Amarillo, Canyon, Hereford and Plainview are all in the mix tonight. The Oklahoma Panhandle and far eastern New Mexico are under the gun too.

DAMAGING WIND
Gusts up to 75 mph can snap trees, take down power lines and push high-profile vehicles around on I-40 and I-27. Power outages are possible where the strongest wind hits.

TORNADOES
The tornado threat is brief spin-ups embedded in the line. At night they're hard to see and often wrapped in rain. Don't wait to see one. When a Tornado Warning is issued for your location, get to an interior room on the lowest floor, away from windows.

HAIL
Some hail is possible, but these storms may stay fairly shallow, so wind and quick tornadoes are the bigger concern tonight.

FLOODING
Isolated flooding is possible in the northern Panhandle where heavier rain trains over the same spots. If water is over the road, turn around, don't drown.

BEFORE YOU GO TO BED
Phone volume up and Wireless Emergency Alerts on. NOAA Weather Radio if you have one. Charge your phone. Know what county you're in. If you're driving overnight, be ready to pull over somewhere safe, away from trees and power lines, when the line reaches you.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY
Storms move into Oklahoma by sunrise and things quiet down. Strong west winds kick in Monday across the Panhandle and South Plains, gusting near 45 mph. After about 2 PM Monday, new storms can fire in the Concho Valley, the Big Country, Northwest Texas and Texoma with hail, damaging wind and a couple of tornadoes possible. Those storms build into a line that moves through North Texas, Central Texas and the Hill Country Monday night into Tuesday morning. Baldy-in-Chief David Reimer has the full forecast on @TSCWX.
