LUBBOCK, Texas – Morning thunderstorms could slow down travel across Lubbock and parts of the South Plains on Sunday, but clearer skies are expected by afternoon. Temperatures will hold steady in the low to mid-80s with light northerly breezes.
According to the National Weather Service in Lubbock, scattered showers and storms are most likely through mid-morning Sunday before drier air moves in. Winds from the north at 5 to 10 mph will help keep conditions comfortable after storms pass.
Areas along I-27 and U.S. Highway 84 could see wet roads during the early morning commute. Drivers are urged to allow extra travel time and watch for ponding on low-lying roads. By midday, skies should begin to brighten, with sunshine breaking through by late afternoon.
Outdoor events in Lubbock, Plainview, and surrounding communities may be impacted early, but conditions improve quickly into the evening. Residents are encouraged to keep umbrellas handy for morning activities but expect calmer weather later in the day.
Thunderstorm chances taper off after Sunday morning, with a more settled pattern expected through the start of the week.
