Severe thunderstorm chances will continue across northern parts of Texas for at least the next five days. Today’s storm chances will focus on the Ark-La-Tex, East Texas, and Southeast Texas this afternoon, accompanied by localized damaging wind gusts. Later this afternoon and tonight, scattered storms are expected to move eastward into the Texas Panhandle and West Texas from New Mexico. These storms will be capable of producing damaging winds, large hail, and heavy rain. Activity is likely to persist into the overnight hours, with more storm development anticipated.
On Thursday, scattered severe storms are forecasted for the Texas Panhandle, West Texas, and Permian Basin, featuring very large hail, damaging winds, heavy rain, and possibly a few tornadoes. These storms will evolve into a complex that moves eastward into Oklahoma on Thursday night. Additional storms are expected in the Panhandle and West Texas on Friday, moving east-southeast into Northwest Texas, Texoma, and North Texas late Friday into Saturday morning, bringing damaging winds and heavy rain. Similar scenarios may unfold over the weekend.
Next week is likely to bring above-average precipitation chances across the northern two-thirds of Texas, with rain chances potentially spreading further south.
