Lubbock, TX – Residents across the Texas South Plains and Panhandle are facing another cold night tonight, with temperatures dropping well below freezing ahead of a cold front expected to arrive around sunrise Monday.
According to the National Weather Service in Lubbock, increasing cloud cover is expected overnight as a cold front pushes south from Oklahoma into the region early Monday morning. While conditions will remain mostly clear for much of the night, temperatures are forecast to fall sharply before daybreak.
Forecast low temperatures for Monday morning, January 14, include 27 degrees in Lubbock, 22 in Plainview, 21 in Friona, 25 in Brownfield, and 27 in Childress. Some areas, including Aspermont, could see lows near 29 degrees, while light east-southeast winds of 5 to 10 mph may add a chill factor.
The cold conditions could impact early-morning commuters, outdoor workers, and anyone with exposed pipes, pets, or sensitive plants. While no winter precipitation is expected, drivers are encouraged to remain cautious during the early hours, especially in rural areas where temperatures may dip lower.
The National Weather Service notes that the cold front’s timing around sunrise could keep temperatures suppressed through the early morning commute before gradual warming later in the day.
Residents across Lubbock County, the broader South Plains, and surrounding parts of West Texas are encouraged to take cold-weather precautions tonight and check updated forecasts Monday morning for any changes.
