US · Published Aug 28, 2026
West Texas and southeast New Mexico are experiencing milder weather conditions today, Friday, August 28, 2026, with slight chances of showers and thunderstorms primarily in the afternoon and evening hours (KOSA, 2026).
High temperatures are forecasted to range between 90°F and 100°F (32°C to 38°C), with Midland/Odessa expected to reach 98°F (37°C).

Impact & Risks

The majority of West Texas will remain dry, but isolated thunderstorms could bring brief periods of rain and gusty winds, particularly south of I-10. High temperatures in the upper 90s and low 100s may pose heat-related risks for outdoor activities. Winds in higher elevations could also create localized hazards for lightweight structures or vehicles. Rain chances are minimal, with less than a 10% likelihood in Midland and Odessa.
