Friday will feel much cooler in comparison to Thursday’s near 80° afternoon high! Friday morning will begin with above average temperatures; likely near 40° as you head out the day. However, cloud cover in combination with cooler air filtering into the South Plains will lead to afternoon temperatures around the 60° mark. Winds will continue to be on the breezy side with gusts approaching 20 mph out of the northwest.
Clouds will thicken by late Friday evening as temperature begin to drop off. By Saturday morning, Lubbock will be in the mid 30’s with cloudy skies and breezy easterly winds. Precipitation will begin to move into the region from the south and west by later afternoon as a storm system approaches from the ‘desert southwest’. At the moment, it appears that precipitation will be light and in the form of rain. There could even be a few rumbles of thunder late Saturday night into early Sunday morning! Overall rainfall accumulation will likely remain under 1/10 of an inch. It certainly will not be worth cancelling any weekend pans over!
Following the early weekend rain, the weather will clear out and warm up. Highs will again approach 70° by Sunday afternoon. However, a stronger cold front will arrive by Wednesday, meaning an end to our early week warm-up! Some of the forecast models that Meteorologists use are even showing a storm system entering the South Plains; producing precipitation late Wednesday into Thursday. By Monday, forecasters should have a much better idea of what our mid-week weather will have in store.
