Every forecast across The Piney Woods, highway-clear.
Official National Weather Service forecasts for East Texas and the Piney Woods — thirty counties from Beaumont, Port Arthur and the Golden Triangle north through Lufkin and Nacogdoches to Tyler, Longview and Marshall, and east to the Louisiana line.
Every Texas region shares one system — the same maps, the same live radar, the same climate record. This is the wet corner of Texas, and the only one with real forest. Hurricanes that come ashore at the Golden Triangle — Rita, Ike, Harvey, Laura — keep enough strength to take the pines down two hundred miles inland, and the same trees turn every ice storm into a week without power. Rain here runs close to 60 inches a year, more than twice El Paso's.
