lubbock weather

You might want to get the shorts out for this Christmas.

For those in Lubbock on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, it will be t-shirt weather instead of sweaters and coats. This time of year and especially on Christmas Day, most people want to see a little snow in the forecast and hope to see snow when they wake up on Christmas morning...

The winds are beginning to calm down and the sky over Lubbock is starting to get blue as I sit down to write this on a windy, dusty, Friday afternoon. Normally, people are in a good mood on Fridays but today's high wind and dust soured the mood on the South Plains...

It's beginning to look a lot like... a windy, brown dirt in the sky and in your eyes kind of day on this Friday. The National Weather Service sent a tweet out on Thursday night warning those in Lubbock and the surrounding areas that Friday was setting up to be a very, very windy day throughout the area with blowing dust possible...

Nothing feels quite as magical as a White Christmas. Unfortunately for Lubbock, the chance of that happening is quite slim.

Wild Winds blasted through Lubbock this weekend, creating a dust storm.

It's officially Fall and while people are decorating with pumpkins and beginning to put up Halloween decorations, it's not going to feel very seasonal around Lubbock the next few days. Summer temperatures will return to Lubbock beginning Thursday when highs are supposed to reach the low 90's and by Saturday we could be looking at mid to upper 90's around the area...

So far, it's been a fairly typical summer in Lubbock. Sure, we had a day in the 80s recently, but we've also seen our fair share of warm, hot and extremely hot days in June. That's normal, of course. This time of year, we start to think less about severe weather and instead wonder just how hot it will be for the 4th on Broadway Parade and Festival...

Things are about to get hot in Lubbock.

They're coming.
