October 26–November 1, 2026 | Representative Eastland County point: Eastland, 32.4015°N, 98.8176°W. This seven-day outlook is separate from our daily three-town report. Conditions can differ across the county.
Rain chances rise late Thursday into Friday in the National Weather Service forecast, with shower and thunderstorm chances continuing into Halloween. Wednesday has the week’s highest forecast daytime temperature, 82°F; Friday’s high is 71°F. These are forecast possibilities, not a report of storm damage or a declaration of severe weather.

How to read this outlook
Each low belongs to the night after its listed date, not the preceding night. All seven following nights were available in this NWS forecast. Today’s period begins at 8 a.m. CDT; subsequent daytime periods run 6 a.m.–6 p.m., and nights run 6 p.m.–6 a.m. local time. Clocks fall back on November 1: Saturday night ends at 6 a.m. CST, and Sunday uses CST. Rain percentages are the NWS numeric point-forecast probabilities; NWS prose rounds some of them. They are not percentages of the county expected to receive rain. Timing and amounts, especially later in the week, may change.
Sources and timing: NWS Eastland point forecast and official forecast data, updated October 26 at 6:06 a.m. CDT and checked at 8:42 a.m. CDT. The graphic preserves that snapshot.
