The forecast calls for a high of 80 degrees today, dropping to a low of 67 tonight. Rodriguez's update includes a flash flood outlook, flood alerts and a severe weather outlook for the area, along with a full 7 day forecast.
KAMC is also running its First Freeze Sweepstakes, asking people to guess when Lubbock will see its first freeze of the season as temperatures start to drop.
For anyone with outdoor plans Tuesday, the flash flood and severe weather outlooks are worth checking before heading out. Heavy rain and gusty winds could make for a messy commute. Low-lying spots can flood fast when that much rain moves through. The swing from an 80 degree high to a 67 degree low also signals the kind of temperature drop that gets folks in Lubbock thinking about fall.
