This map displays the various Weather Zones that exist within the ERCOT footprint, but it does not necessarily include all counties that have participation within the ERCOT market.
Weather Forecast Details
General Discussion:
Scattered showers have developed across West and Far West Texas Tuesday morning and will gradually progress east through the afternoon. This activity is expected to weaken and decrease in coverage as it does so, but a few lingering, light showers may make it into parts of Central Texas by Tuesday evening and East Texas overnight.
A weak cold front will move through much of the state by the middle of the week, but conditions will generally remain unseasonably warm with only a slight drop in temperatures by Wednesday afternoon. This will be followed by yet another warm-up for the second half of the week as widespread 70s and 80s continue for Thursday and Friday.
A second weather system will move into the ERCOT Region this weekend and bring more promising rain chances to parts of the state. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are slated to develop across Northwest Texas Friday night before increasing in coverage on Saturday, primarily across North, Central, and East Texas. As it currently stands, highest rainfall totals are currently projected to fall across North and East Texas before a drier weather pattern takes shape into the second half of the weekend and high temperatures briefly drop into the 60s and 70s.
Today:
Mostly cloudy to cloudy skies. High temperatures in the 70s and 80s. Slightly cooler across Far West and West Texas where scattered-to-numerous showers are forecast. Elevated fire danger across the Northern Panhandle.
Tomorrow:
Turning mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Slightly cooler, with lows in the 40s and 50s followed by highs in the 60s and 70s. Warmer across the Rio Grande Valley.
