After wild weather on Tuesday afternoon, it appears that Wednesday will bring another round of drastic changes. A strong cold front will bring an end to the record heat. The front will move through Lubbock between 11 AM and 2 PM. Ahead of it, there will be a slight chance of isolated thunderstorms, mainly to the east of Lubbock.
Depending on when the front actually moves through Lubbock, the Hub City should see highs in the mid to upper 70’s. But, behind the front, temperatures will quickly fall into the 50’s and 60’s. Winds will also gust over 40 mph, leading to widespread blowing dust. A better chance for precipitation will arrive Wednesday night. Rain showers will begin to develop after 8 PM. Rain may transition to a mixture of rain, sleet, and snow late Wednesday night; lasting into Thursday morning.

Temperatures will fall to near freezing by rush hour Thursday. These cold temperatures, combined with moisture on area roadways, could lead to a few slick spots. It is important, especially after such warm weather, that everyone remembers how to drive in winter weather. Make sure to slow down and leave extra room between you, and the driver in front of you.
After a Friday morning freeze, temperatures will begin to warm by this weekend.
