FIREBALL SIGHTING! Did anyone else see it? I saw a fireball this morning on the border of southern Oklahoma and north Texas! Check your ring cameras when you wake up☄️

05/26/2026

Heads up folks...severe weather possibilities for this afternoon and evening for much of West Central Texas, especially areas south of I-20. We are expecting some hit and miss storms this morning, but the main activity arrives for the afternoon and evening as a line of strong/severe storms rolls across the area. Right now we expect the storms to reach San Angelo/Sweetwater/Ozona by 1-4 PM, Abilene/Eldorado/Sonora 3-6 PM, and Coleman/Brady/Brownwood/Mason/Junction by 5-9 PM.

This line of storms will have pockets of big storms in it, with large hail of golf ball to baseball size the main concern along with damaging winds. There is a real tornado threat with these storms as well, especially for areas around Ozona, Eldorado, Sonora, and the southwest Concho Valley.

The line will be moving fairly quickly as it moves across the area, but heavy rainfall is still going to be a concern. Areas that have received heavy rainfall the last 3-5 days can't take much more before flash flooding will occur. Fully expect the creeks, streams, and draws to be running hard and flood many low water crossings, city streets, and other low lying areas as the line moves through.

We will try to keep you updated as we head through the rest of the morning and see if anything changes.

Severe storms today and tonight will have the potential to produce a couple tornadoes and/or spin-ups across west and south-central Texas - with the risk eventually shifting into central and south Texas! The tornado risk is on the lower side but the ingredients look to be there for a couple tornadoes and/or brief spin-ups. While the tornado risk is on the lower side, there’s higher confidence in the potential for tornadoes from parts of the Permian Basin into south-central Texas. It’s important to note that not everyone in the risk area sees a tornado. Make sure you’re weather aware today and have multiple ways to receive warnings🌪️
