Lubbock, Texas – Crisp air and pale morning light greet the South Plains today, but the chill won’t linger long. After a cool, jacket-worthy start, temperatures across West Texas are poised to surge sharply by early next week, marking a dramatic early November turnaround.
According to the National Weather Service in Lubbock, high pressure is anchoring clear skies and dry air through Monday. Northerly winds keep today’s highs near the low 60s, but that breeze shifts south by Sunday, unlocking a rapid warmup. Sunday afternoon should climb toward 75 degrees, with widespread 80s likely by Monday.
Travelers along I-27 and U.S. 84 can expect ideal conditions for regional drives or early holiday errands. The calm stretch also favors outdoor cleanup or light yard work before Thanksgiving planning ramps up later this month. Fire weather risk remains low today but could rise slightly by Tuesday as humidity dips below 25 percent and winds strengthen across the Llano Estacado.
Early mornings will stay crisp—lows near 40 to 45 degrees—but the region stays frost-free through at least midweek. Models hint at another pattern change beyond Wednesday, with cooler air building across the Rockies that could edge toward the Panhandle late next weekend.
For now, Lubbock enjoys one of fall’s most comfortable stretches—sunny skies, light breezes, and a steady climb toward early November warmth.
