The heat will really crank up for Thursday. We’re going to see dry air and high pressure over west Texas. That means skies will be sunny. The wind will try to help cool us down. It’ll be sustained at 10-15 mph in the afternoon. Otherwise, stay in the nice, cool air conditioning if you can, because Lubbock will see a high temperature of 102°. Highs will be near 104° in the Rolling Plains. This will be the tenth triple digit day for Lubbock in 2017.
Things will try to cool down on Friday and for the weekend. But, we’re still going to get some warm air coming in from the south. Highs will stay in two digits, however, it’s looking like good pool weather for the weekend. Friday afternoon is going to stay sunny, with a high temperature of 95°. The wind will be light, only at 5-10 mph. So, if you want to be at the pool, you’ll need a lot of sunscreen, because the UV Outlook is extreme!
