The weather in Texas is getting hotter: temperatures are slowly rising

It's a cool start in Texas this morning. A slow warm-up begins as the weekend begins, and the chance of a thunderstorm is high across the Texas Panhandle, West Texas and Borderland.

This morning temperatures fell into the 30s to 40s across the northern two-thirds of Texas. However, afternoon high temperatures will comfortably climb into the 70s to lower 80s. Rain showers remain possible in the Rio Grande Valley and South Texas.

Late tonight, showers and a few storms move east into the borderland, the Guadalupe Mountains and Trans-Pecos. Activity will weaken as it moves into the Permian Basin tomorrow morning. The chance of isolated thunderstorms increases Friday evening across the western portions of the Texas Panhandle and West Texas. The highest chances are near the New Mexico state line and to the west.

Several waves of thunderstorms are expected across the Texas Panhandle and West Texas on Saturday, Sunday and Monday morning. Between 1 and 3 inches of rain may fall across the northwestern and northern Panhandle, with up to 1 inch possible across the rest of the Panhandle south into West Texas. Some storms could be strong to severe, with pocket-sized hail, strong winds and a non-zero risk of a brief tornado near the New Mexico-Texas border.

The rest of Texas looks dry, aside from isolated showers in the Rio Grande Valley and South Texas early next week. Temperatures will warm up, reaching highs of over 80 degrees on Sunday and Monday.
