Lubbock, TX – Lubbock and much of the South Plains are entering a prolonged stretch of warm and generally dry weather, bringing daytime highs into the low to mid‑70s through much of next week.
According to the National Weather Service office in Lubbock, the warming trend follows a recent period of bitter cold and will feature minimal precipitation chances across the region. Forecast data released Wednesday shows mostly sunny conditions dominating the seven‑day outlook.
High temperatures are expected to reach near 71 on Thursday, climbing to around 73 Friday and peaking near 75 Saturday. Sunday and Monday are forecast to remain mild, with highs near 73 degrees. Temperatures ease slightly by midweek, with highs around 72 Tuesday and near 70 Wednesday.
Overnight lows are forecast to range from the mid‑30s to upper‑40s, with the coolest mornings expected late this week before moderating into early next week.
Rain chances remain low throughout the period. The National Weather Service indicates a zero percent chance of precipitation through the weekend, with only slight chances — generally 10 to 20 percent — possible Monday and Tuesday. No widespread rainfall or impactful weather systems are currently indicated.
Forecasters note that the extended dry pattern should allow for consistent travel conditions and outdoor activity planning, especially during afternoon hours. Commuters and students may still experience cool mornings, but no freeze or winter weather impacts are expected at this time.
The forecast is valid for Lubbock and surrounding areas of the South Plains and may be adjusted if future systems develop.
