Pop-up afternoon showers and storm chances will continue across Southeast Texas and the Golden Triangle. These storms will bring brief heavy rain, lightning, and gusty winds.
This afternoon and evening, we may also observe isolated to scattered strong to severe storms in the Big Country, Northwest Texas, Texoma, North Texas, and Northeast Texas. If storms develop, they could produce localized damaging wind gusts and large hail. However, storms might stay a bit north of the Red River up in Oklahoma.
Otherwise, we’re expecting a wetter pattern to emerge across the western third of Texas this weekend and early next week, thanks to moisture from the remnants of Hurricane Erick.
Hot and humid weather will persist across Texas over the next week. We may see temperatures drop a few degrees as we head into Sunday, as an upper-level high pressure (heat dome) shifts into the eastern United States.
