Lubbock, TX – The National Weather Service in Lubbock is tracking a new batch of sleet and snow showers moving swiftly across the South Plains this afternoon. According to the latest 3:30 p.m. radar update, some locations could see up to an inch of sleet and snow under the heaviest showers.
Surface temperatures are expected to remain steady through the afternoon, keeping conditions marginally cold enough for slick roads. The weather service reports that light snow and flurries are spreading beyond the main precipitation bands, creating variable travel impacts throughout the area.
