Forecast Texas is the definitive portal for the Lone Star State's weather and climate — built to make the official National Weather Service forecast fast, clean, and highway-clear for all 254 counties, from the Panhandle to the Valley and from the Piney Woods to the Trans-Pecos.
Texas is big enough to hold every kind of American weather at once. Gulf hurricanes come ashore between Brownsville and Beaumont; supercells fire on the dryline and drop tornadoes across the Panhandle and North Texas; the Hill Country is Flash Flood Alley; the Permian and the Plains bake through triple-digit summers and flash drought; and every few winters an Arctic outbreak reaches the Rio Grande. Texas even spans two time zones — Central across the state, Mountain out past Van Horn — and Forecast Texas honors that, giving every town its own local clock.
The look borrows from the American Interstate system — the reflective paper, the green guide signs, the blue service signs, the brown recreation signs, and the red-white-and-blue route shields — set in Overpass, the typeface drawn from the Highway Gothic lettering on those signs. Texas takes a pale caliche-limestone paper and a bluebonnet blue accent, for the flower that covers the Hill Country every April — its own note in the network.
Texas is covered close-up by 6 region sites, each on its own subdomain of forecasttexas.com — the same maps, the same live radar and the same climate record as this site, drawn to one metro or region instead of the whole state, with a page for every city in it. They are part of Forecast Texas, not separate sites: /about on any of them lands back here.
Forecast Austin and Forecast Houston cover those two metros on their own domains, forecastaustin.com and forecasthouston.com, and the Zone 1 and Zone 2 tiles hand off to them. Texas has four live neighbors: Forecast Oklahoma across the Red River, Forecast Louisiana across the Sabine Forecast Arkansas at the northeast corner above Texarkana, and Forecast New Mexico up the western line to El Paso — each tinted in its own accent on the hero map and clickable across the state line. Forecast Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Maine, Colorado, California, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Carolinas, Alaska, Dakotas, Arizona, Missouri, Tennessee, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New Mexico, Nevada, Kentucky, Louisiana, Utah, Arkansas, Mississippi, Hawaii, Montana, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Virginia, New England, Great Plains, Canada are all part of the same system.
