LUBBOCK, Texas – Early morning fog is blanketing parts of the South Plains and Rolling Plains Tuesday, creating low visibility for drivers before sunshine breaks through later in the day. The calm pattern will dominate much of the week, with only a slight chance for thunderstorms Thursday night across the Caprock region.
According to the National Weather Service in Lubbock, patchy fog may linger through mid-morning, especially in rural and low-lying areas east of I-27. Drivers along U.S. 84 and the South Loop should slow down and use low beams until visibility improves. By midday, skies turn sunny with highs in the low 80s and light south-southeast winds up to 15 mph.
Forecasters expect dry, mild weather through Wednesday night, followed by an isolated round of showers Thursday. The storm threat remains low — about 20% — mainly confined to the far western counties near the Caprock Escarpment. Otherwise, highs stay near 83°F to 84°F through Friday with clear skies and moderate winds.
Farmers and ranchers can expect favorable harvesting and grazing conditions this week, while residents enjoy comfortable fall evenings and steady warmth. The weekend will stay dry with highs in the lower 80s and cool nights in the 50s — ideal for local football games and pumpkin patch visits across West Texas.
