Lubbock, TX – A cold front sweeping across West Texas is bringing cooler temperatures and the threat of thunderstorms to Lubbock and surrounding areas tonight.
According to the National Weather Service Lubbock, temperatures are expected to fall sharply overnight, with lows ranging from the upper 30s in Friona to near 60°F in Aspermont. Lubbock itself is forecast to drop to 53°F by early Saturday morning, while Friona may reach a low of 37°F.
Thunderstorms are likely east of the Caprock, with isolated severe storms possible in cities such as Paducah, Childress, and Guthrie. Areas like Matador, Spur, and Jayton could also experience periods of lightning and gusty winds through the early morning hours.
Residents are advised to monitor local alerts and stay indoors during storm activity. Those in eastern counties should prepare for sudden shifts in weather and potential localized flooding due to brief but heavy downpours.
Tonight’s temperature drop marks a sharp contrast to recent warm conditions, driven by a cold front that moved through earlier today. Drivers should exercise caution due to potential slick roads and limited visibility during storms.
