We did not expect to see any more rain on Thursday and that is exactly what happened. That is really unfortunate, since we desperately need that rain. The ground is so dry. However, there’s more bad news in the forecast with hot and dry weather taking over. Today will see sunny skies, with 10-15 mph wind and a high of 98°. The eastern counties will reach at least 100°.
We’re going to continue to see the warm air overnight, through Saturday morning. Expect clear skies and 10 mph wind tonight. The air is going to stay dry, as we see the low get to 69°. The oven is really going to get turned up by Saturday afternoon. There will be sunny skies, with 10-15 mph wind. We will expect to see a high in Lubbock of 102°. The record high is 101°. So, we will set a new record tomorrow.
