Hot kickoff tonight and storms return Saturday before a big weather flip - KCBD

Winds around 10 mph could nudge deep passes and kicks around, but forecasters say they won't be strong enough to change much on the field. Most of Lubbock stays dry through the game, and any rough weather tonight should stay well west of the city.

Saturday looks like a different story, with scattered storms expected to return. That flip means anyone with weekend plans around Lubbock should watch the forecast change fast, from a quiet Friday to a stormier Saturday.

For neighbors headed to the game tonight, the weather cooperates. Tailgates, walks to the stadium, and the game itself should stay dry, with only that light wind as a factor for players. Saturday's storms could interrupt outdoor plans across the city, especially for anyone who assumed the calm would carry into the weekend.

Friday night looks easy. Saturday flips the script entirely.
