Cool & Unsettled Weather Ahead

Widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected on Thursday, some with locally heavy rain. Most areas can expect measurable rain with potentially 1/2 inch or more especially off the Caprock.

Clouds will be on the increase tonight as an upper-level storm system begins to move towards the region. Temperatures will be on the mild side, with light and variable winds. Chances for rain showers will also begin to arrive during the predawn hours Wednesday.

Prospects for showers and thunderstorms will begin to increase after sunrise Wednesday, with chances lasting throughout the entire day. The best potential for storms will be in the eastern Rolling Plains, where some storms may become strong or marginally-severe and capable of producing hail up to the size of quarters. Elsewhere, mainly rain showers are forecast as you near the edge of the Caprock Escarpment.

Thunderstorms that develop east of the Caprock Escarpment may be capable of producing hail up to the size of quarters Wednesday afternoon. Storm chances are set to increase during the overnight hours into early Thursday morning, some of which may be strong-to-severe.

A cooler and wetter pattern takes hold beginning Thursday when we expect widespread showers and thunderstorms - some possibly severe. More rain chances await Saturday night through Monday with below-normal temperatures.
