LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Our rain chances are headed up once again as we approach the weekend. A weak cold front will combine with moisture and heat to create some afternoon and evening storms.

The potential for storms will increase between 3 to 5 p.m. and continue through late Friday night. Some storms could be strong, with heavy rain, gusty winds, lightning and possibly some hail. Storms will be active during the Friday evening time period, causing some problems for area football games.

The Friday temps will begin very nice in the 60s but will climb and before the front arrives will hit the mid 90s in Lubbock. Folks in the northern south plains will be a little cooler Friday afternoon thanks to the slow moving cold front.

It will be a little cooler on Saturday with highs in the low 90s and a continuing slight chance of showers on in the afternoon and evening.

Sunday will bring more sunshine, less rain chance and highs still in the 90s.
