Wildfire Risk Reemerges In West Texas With Rowdy Storms Arriving Thursday

Over the next few days, we are facing a pressing issue- a significant increase in wildfire danger across the western third of Texas. The Texas Panhandle is already experiencing critical fire weather conditions today, and this threat will persist on Tuesday and Wednesday, encompassing the entire western third of Texas. It is crucial to exercise extreme caution when working outdoors with equipment that could potentially ignite vegetation.

Wildfire danger will become very high across the western third of Texas by Wednesday.

On Wednesday night, isolated thunderstorms are possible in Texoma and Northeast Texas. These storms may stay north of the Red River. If they do occur, they could bring with them the potential for large hail. The threat of scattered severe thunderstorms will escalate on Thursday, primarily across the northeast quarter of Texas. The main threats are large hail, damaging wind gusts, and heavy rainfall. We will provide more specific threat levels as the event draws nearer. The most active thunderstorm chances are expected from Thursday afternoon through Friday morning.

Forecast rain totals across Texas for Thursday through early Saturday morning. The heaviest rains, one to three inches, are expected across North Texas, Texoma, Northeast Texas, the Ark-La-Tex, into East Texas. Totals fall off further south and west.

Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorm chances may continue into the weekend across a large portion of Texas, including areas further west that need moisture. We are not talking about constant rain for everyone every minute of the day. Due to longer-range weather model differences, the exact locations and timing for precipitation chances by Saturday become murky. The American and European weather models are running about twenty-four hours apart on the timing of a cold front’s arrival.

After a warm week, we expect temperatures to cool off beginning after the work week and toward the weekend. It is not a big Arctic blast, but it should be cooler. For some, we may also see rain chances continue.

      Shirley Allan The Smokehouse Creek and Windy Deuce fires have containment numbers in the high 90 percent range. Crews are still working to mop up, but the focus is shifting to staging units for any new fires across several regions out west. They’ll hopefully get more rain this weekend!
