Lubbock airport (LIA) reports a trace (T) of precip so far, and a peak wind of 54 mph (at 7:27 AM). LIA at 8 AMLUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) -
Overnight a strong cold front began blowing through the viewing area, moving in
from the Panhandle and pushing rapidly south toward the Permian Basin.
While
highs yesterday (Lubbock 80°) were about 15 degrees above the average for the
date (that's 64°F), afternoon highs today will be about 25 degrees below the
average.
Additionally, the high for the day (all 24 hours) is 62 degrees,
recorded just past midnight (last night). The low for the day (all 24 hours)
will occur as midnight (tonight) approaches, rather than the typical just after
sunrise. Also the wind will remain strong, especially this morning, dropping
Lubbock area wind chills into the 20s.
Light showers, mostly rain, still look likely to dot the area today, with a
better chance tonight and tomorrow. While most of these showers will be light
some areas, especially east of the Caprock, may receive a quarter inch or more
of precipitation. This morning's data still point to less than a tenth of an
inch (liquid equivalent) most areas on the Caprock, including Lubbock, today
through tomorrow.
