expected to become severe. Afternoon temperatures today will be in
the 70s with continued northerly to northeasterly winds in place.

.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 121 AM CDT Mon May 11 2026
The cold front responsible for yesterday`s severe weather across
parts of North and Central Texas has pushed south of our region.
As of 1 am Monday, widespread precipitation continues across
eastern portions of Central Texas. As we continue through the
morning hours, expect the widespread precipitation to push away
from our region.
The shortwave responsible for today`s active weather is now
centered over Lubbock, moving to the east/southeast. Given this
shortwave is still to our west, a few additional showers and
isolated storms may develop this afternoon east of I-35 where weak
mid-level forcing for ascent will still be present. This
afternoon`s thunderstorm activity will remain sub-severe with
lightning and gusty winds the main threats.
All precipitation will move east of North and Central Texas this
evening, leaving behind precipitation-free conditions through the
night. Expected mostly clear skies with light winds and lows in
the mid 50s to lower 60s.
&&
.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday through Sunday)
Issued at 121 AM CDT Mon May 11 2026
A quiet and warming pattern is expected through much of the week
as weak ridging builds over Texas. Highs will return to the upper
80s and lower 90s by mid-week, with humidity gradually increasing
as southerly flow returns. Despite the moisture return, meaningful
lift will remain limited, keeping rain chances low through late
week.
Low-end storm chances may return next weekend as moisture deepens
and weak disturbances approach, but confidence in timing and
coverage remains low.
