Lubbock, Texas – Labor Day plans across northwest Texas could face a brief weather hiccup as isolated thunderstorms are expected to develop Monday afternoon amid temperatures in the upper 80s and low 90s.
According to the National Weather Service in Lubbock, storms may form area-wide after 2 p.m., with a 10% chance of rain across key cities including Lubbock, Plainview, Childress, Friona, and Aspermont. While the severe weather risk remains low, any stronger storm could produce pockets of heavy rainfall and brief wind gusts.
Temperatures are expected to peak at 91°F in Lubbock and Aspermont, with light winds generally under 6 mph from the north. Despite the low rain chances, holiday travelers and those attending outdoor events should monitor skies and have shelter options nearby.
City crews and emergency management teams remain on standby, though no official advisories have been issued. Motorists should remain alert to sudden downpours, especially on rural roads and highways across the South Plains.
Rain chances diminish by sunset, and no further alerts are expected unless stronger cells develop.
