Lubbock, Texas – After a sweltering weekend with highs reaching into the upper 90s, Lubbock and the surrounding Caprock region can expect a noticeable cooldown and increased rain chances beginning Tuesday.
According to the National Weather Service in Lubbock, Sunday and Monday will bring sunny skies and near triple-digit heat—especially off the Caprock, where highs could touch 101°F Monday. But by Tuesday, a weak front moving through the region will introduce scattered thunderstorms and cooler daytime highs, with many locations only reaching the low 80s by midweek.
Slight chances for thunderstorms and showers will persist through Thursday, with overnight lows dipping into the 50s for communities like Plainview, Littlefield, and Post. Residents are urged to monitor changing road conditions and stay weather-aware during afternoon and evening hours when storms are most likely.
While widespread severe weather isn’t expected, isolated thunderstorms could bring lightning, gusty winds, and brief downpours. Outdoor plans should include backup shelter options, and drivers should be cautious of slick roads during evening commutes.
The storm pattern may linger into late next week, with updates possible from the NWS as conditions evolve.
