The primary weather hazards expected across West Texas and Southeast New Mexico this week will be heat, along with the potential for scattered storms later in the week. A more detailed forecast is provided below.
Each day will feature hot conditions, with high temperatures generally ranging from the upper 90s to low 100s across most areas. The hottest temperatures are expected near and along the river valleys, especially in the Big Bend, where highs are forecast to reach between 105 to near 110 degrees most afternoons. Triple digit heat will be most expansive across the Permian Basin and Upper Trans Pecos Wednesday afternoon. Temperatures cool off a few degrees Thursday onward. Although most are expected to remain below Heat Advisory criteria, taking precautions to stay cool and hydrated are still recommended, primarily during the hottest parts of the day.
Most afternoons are forecast to feature at least a low chance of shower/storm development in the vicinity of the Davis Mountains. However, rain chances begin to increase over the higher terrain and areas west of the Pecos River Wednesday afternoon. By Thursday and Friday afternoons, at least low (10%) rain chances span across most o our region, except for our easternmost counties.
Widespread severe storms are not expected through the week, though a storm or two could become strong to severe given the right conditions. The primary threat with any storms that develop will be strong winds. Other hazards to look out for will be heavy rainfall leading to localized flash flooding and small hail.
