Lubbock, TX – Residents should prepare for widespread heavy rain beginning late Sunday, with potential flooding affecting areas near U.S. Route 62 and beyond. After a sunny and dry Saturday, a significant weather system is set to bring 1 to 3 inches of rain through Monday morning, creating hazardous conditions in flood-prone regions.
According to the National Weather Service in Lubbock, the storms are expected to develop Sunday evening, intensifying overnight and continuing into early Monday. The heaviest rainfall is anticipated after dark, which will make driving more dangerous due to limited visibility and water accumulation on roads. Residents are urged to avoid flooded areas and stay updated with local forecasts.

Emergency management officials advise residents to stock up on supplies, charge devices, and remain vigilant for flash flood warnings. Use caution on U.S. Route 62 and other major roadways prone to water pooling.
