Texas weather is defined by sharp contrasts: scorching summers, mild winters, and a volatile spring storm season. The live forecast above shows current conditions in Colfax, but across the state you can expect humid heat in the south and dry heat in the west.
What is the typical climate in Texas?
Texas spans four climate zones. The eastern half is humid subtropical, with hot summers and frequent thunderstorms. The western half is arid or semi-arid, with big daily temperature swings. Winter in north Texas can bring freezing rain, while the southern coast stays mild.

When is the most severe weather?
Severe weather peaks from March to June. North Texas weather sees the highest tornado risk, especially near the Red River valley. Flash flooding is common across central Texas in May, and hurricane season runs from June to November along the Gulf Coast.
When is tornado season in Texas?
Tornado season runs primarily from March to June, with a secondary peak in October. The highest concentration of twisters occurs in the Panhandle and north Texas. Always check the texas weather radar during alerts.
Does Texas get snow?
Yes, but mainly in the Panhandle and western high plains. Snowfall averages 25–50 cm (10–20 in) in Amarillo, while Houston and Dallas see less than 5 cm (2 in) most years. Ice storms are more common than heavy snow in central Texas.
Is Texas humid?
Eastern Texas is very humid, especially near the Gulf Coast, with dewpoints above 21°C (70°F) in summer. West Texas is dry, with relative humidity often below 30%. The humidity drives the “feels-like” temperature well above the actual reading.
