Texas — First light spreads across the South Plains with a soft haze rising above open fields, catching a reddish tint in the dry November air. Pavement sits cool, but the sun pushes upward fast, signaling another strikingly warm day for Lubbock as drivers merge onto Loop 289 and I-27 under clear skies.
According to the National Weather Service in Lubbock, temperatures surge toward 88°F today, creating a sharp late-fall warm spell as Thanksgiving travel begins ramping up nationwide. Residents planning morning errands should hydrate and prepare for steady sun, while afternoon drivers should expect light crosswinds on west-east routes. No rain appears today, keeping roads dry and visibility excellent.
Sunday stays warm as well, topping out near 80°F, with calmer north winds early that shift south by afternoon. To be fair, this mild stretch offers perfect timing for outdoor prep, early decorating, or longer-distance travel across the High Plains. Still, models hint at an eventual “Winter Tease” late next week as colder air gathers far to the north. Lubbock remains warm for now, but the pattern deserves monitoring with Thanksgiving week close.
Monday continues the run of sun, reaching 77°F, though west winds may strengthen slightly by midday. Drivers of high-profile vehicles should watch for gusts on I-27 and U.S. 84. No precipitation is expected Monday, but moisture creeps back Tuesday night as a weak boundary approaches.
By Wednesday and Thursday, a 20–30% chance of showers returns, though widespread impacts remain unlikely. Travel conditions across the region stay mostly favorable, but any frontal timing shift could increase shower coverage heading into Friday.
