Hot and humid conditions expected today as high pressure dominates the forecast this weekend and into next week as well. Â The forecast highlight today will be the high Heat Index readings expected across southeast, south central and south Texas later this afternoon. Â Heat Index readings are expected to reach 105 to 110 degrees by this afternoon. Â This will make for some very uncomfortable conditions for anyone who has outdoor activities planned later today. Â Best advice…stay indoors and under the fan and A/C during peak heating. Â If you have to be out, be sure to drink plenty of water. Â Make sure outdoor pets and livestock have access to plenty of water and shade. Â It would also be a good idea to check on elderly friends and neighbors.
Rain chances today will reside mainly across the panhandle and western Texas with only slight chances for pop-up showers and storms across southeast Texas. Â The far northern portion of the Texas panhandle has been placed under a Marginal Risk of seeing severe storms; however at this time, it appears the greatest risk for seeing any severe storms will be just off to the north across the Oklahoma panhandle and into southern Kansas as a weak cold front drops south into this region. Â Elsewhere across the panhandle and down into far west Texas, a few strong pop-up storms are possible with the threat of brief heavy downpours, gusty winds and lightning.
