LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Arctic blast still headed south. The first arctic front of the season will roll across the area late Wednesday ushering in the coldest temps that we've had since early February of last winter.

Behind the front, Thursday morning's temps will fall to the teens with some light freezing drizzle possible, but not enough to cause any traffic issues, other than a glaze on windshields.

The afternoon highs, under a blanket of clouds, may stay in the 20s from Amarillo south to Lubbock.

Ahead of the front on Wednesday, the morning low will be around 30 degrees and patchy fog will create some low visibilities for the area until mid-morning.

The afternoon in Lubbock should make it to the low 50s before the arctic blast moves into the region.

Check those outdoor pipes, have protection for your pets and make sure the auto is ready for the drop in temps.
