Scattered showers to continue Wednesday; Strong storms possible rest of week - KCBD

Forecasters say confidence on exactly where those afternoon storms will pop is low, which means some parts of the South Plains stay dry while others get soaked. Most spots in the Lubbock area carry a 40 to 50 percent chance of measurable rain today. A stronger disturbance moves in tonight, raising the chance for more organized storm activity after dark.

For anyone with outdoor plans around Lubbock this week, the pattern means checking the sky before heading out rather than trusting a single forecast for the whole day. Storms this unpredictable can dump rain on one side of town and leave the other bone dry, so a trip across the city could mean driving from sunshine straight into a downpour. Folks in Lubbock should expect the unsettled stretch to continue into the rest of the week, with strong storms possible as additional disturbances move through.

The scattered nature of the system means two neighbors a few miles apart could have completely different Wednesdays, one soaked, one dry.
