Lubbock, TX — Temperatures in Lubbock and the surrounding Texas Panhandle are set to cool slightly today due to southeast winds, but thunderstorms are forecast for later in the day. Isolated storms could develop across parts of the northern South Plains and Rolling Plains, bringing lightning and brief heavy rain to areas such as Dimmitt, Childress, and Silverton.
According to the National Weather Service, thunderstorms are most likely between late afternoon and early evening. While the chance for severe weather remains low, residents should still remain alert to changing conditions and secure any outdoor items that could be affected by high winds or rain. Local roads may become slippery, so drivers are urged to reduce speeds and increase following distances during rain.
The region will still experience high temperatures, with most areas hitting the low-to-mid 90s. However, cooler winds should provide some relief from yesterday’s heatwave. Those in affected areas are advised to monitor local weather updates throughout the day.
