**Lubbock, TX – Scattered Storms Possible Tonight, Followed by Scorching Heatwave**
LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – Residents of the South Plains should brace for one more round of scattered thunderstorms tonight before a significant heatwave settles over the region, bringing triple-digit temperatures by Wednesday.
Thunderstorms are currently moving across the Texas Panhandle and are expected to impact areas north and east of Lubbock late Saturday night into early Sunday morning. The storms are capable of producing gusty winds, lightning, and heavy rainfall. The greatest risk of severe wind gusts and heavy rain is expected north of a line from Friona to Guthrie. Motorists are advised to be cautious of potential isolated flooding in areas where storms linger.
Sunday will begin with gray and muggy conditions, especially for those who experienced overnight storms. Temperatures will remain in the 70s and low 80s during the morning. By late afternoon, sunshine will break through, potentially triggering new storms, particularly east of the Caprock between Crosbyton, Paducah, and Matador. These pop-up storms are likely to bring brief heavy rain, gusty winds, and lightning between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. Otherwise, Sunday will be warm and humid with highs reaching the low to mid 90s.
Looking ahead, the weather will take a turn towards the extreme. By Wednesday, most of the South Plains will be experiencing triple-digit temperatures, with forecasts indicating the intense heat will persist throughout the weekend. Residents are advised to take necessary precautions to stay cool and hydrated as the region prepares for the approaching heatwave.
