Lubbock, TX – Residents across Lubbock and the broader South Plains should brace for another round of thunderstorms Tuesday, with the highest threat developing in the afternoon and evening. These storms could bring strong wind gusts and locally heavy rainfall, raising the risk of street flooding in low-lying areas.
According to the National Weather Service in Lubbock, storm chances will build across the region Monday through Wednesday, with Tuesday marking the most active period. Evening storms may intensify quickly, producing downpours capable of reducing visibility on roads such as U.S. 84 and Interstate 27. Wind gusts may also pose a hazard for high-profile vehicles.
