Lubbock, Texas – A streak of stormy summer weather is set to make a return to Lubbock starting Saturday afternoon, with storm chances stretching through midweek.

While the severe weather threat remains low, gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall could impact outdoor activities, especially Monday night into Tuesday.
