LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) -
We have a winner in our First Freeze contest! We just don't
know who. But we will. We have to go through a ton of entries and verify who
made the best guess on the date and time of Lubbock's first official freeze of
the season. The official time of the freeze, recorded at the Lubbock airport,
was 4:10 AM. In newscasts this evening on KCBD NewsChannel 11 we'll announce
the winner of the $5,000 shopping spree at Ashley Furniture Home Store.
In the midst of the driest year on record in Lubbock,
yesterday brought a precipitation record. The airport measured 0.80 inch - a
melted mix of rain, sleet, and snow - the most for any October 27. The previous
record was 0.61 inch in 1969. The Lubbock precipitation record began in 1911.
This afternoon will be quite cool, but with light wind and a
sunny sky, pleasant. This evening will be very chilly with temperatures in the
40s.
Tomorrow will begin with temperatures in the 30s, but the
afternoon will top out near 70 degrees. Saturday evening, again, will get very
chilly by the end of the Tech game.
