AN UPPER LEVEL LOW IS CURRENTLY CENTERED ACROSS NORTHERN
MEXICO AND FAR WEST TEXAS. THIS FEATURE IS THEN FORECAST TO TRACK
NORTHEAST REACHING THE SOUTH PLAINS AND SOUTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE
SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND THEN INTO OKLAHOMA SATURDAY EVENING. THIS
FEATURE WILL RESULT IN A CONTINUATION OF RAIN CHANCES THROUGH THE
NEXT 24 HOURS. UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE WILL
TRACK ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA, WHICH WILL AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. TIMING THESE FEATURE IS CHALLENGING, BUT
THE CONSENSUS IS THAT ONE SUCH FEATURE WILL TRACK ACROSS THE AREA
LATE THIS EVENING AND INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS SATURDAY. THIS
WILL RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS
EVENING TO OUR WEST AND SOUTHWEST, WITH THIS ACTIVITY TRACKING EAST
OR EAST NORTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA. AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE, ISOLATED
TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON.
THE MAIN CONCERN WILL THE ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT IS
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WHICH MAY RESULT IN FLOODING OF LOW-LYING
AREAS AND ROADWAYS. THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY ON EXACTLY HOW MUCH
COVERAGE WE WILL SEE OVERNIGHT, SO WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR TRENDS
THIS EVENING. HIGHS THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS,
IN THE LOW TO MID 80S FOR MOST LOCATIONS, WITH PARTS OF THE BIG
COUNTRY REACHING THE UPPER 80S.
ON SATURDAY, THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL TRACK ACROSS
THE SOUTH PLAINS AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE PANHANDLE. THIS WILL
RESULT IN ADDITIONAL RAIN CHANCES, ESPECIALLY SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. EXPECT MEDIUM (40-70%) RAIN CHANCES. IN ADDITION TO LOCALLY
HEAVY RAINFALL, A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE, WITH
LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS BEING THE MAIN CONCERNS. HIGHS ON
SATURDAY WILL CONTINUE TO BE BELOW NORMAL. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE MID
TO UPPER 80S FOR MOST LOCATIONS.
LONG TERM
(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 133 PM CDT FRI JUN 5 2026
RAIN CHANCES WILL CONTINUE INTO SATURDAY NIGHT, BUT QUICKLY END FROM
WEST TO EAST ON SUNDAY MORNING AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW TRACKS EAST OF
THE REGION. HIGHS ON SUNDAY WILL BE NEAR SEASONAL NORMALS, IN THE
UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S.
ON SUNDAY, AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BE CENTERED ACROSS THE NORTHERN
GULF AND WILL STEADILY BUILD WEST TOWARD TEXAS. THIS FEATURE WILL
BECOME CENTERED ACROSS TEXAS BY MID-WEEK, RESULTING IN HOT AND DRY
CONDITIIONS. HIGHS THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK WILL BE IN THE 90S TO
NEAR 100, WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE 70S.
