Riley's Monday evening forecast, issued for September 28, 2026, calls for increasing clouds tonight with storm activity to the west of Lubbock. Tuesday brings scattered storms that pick up later in the day, along with breezy, cloudy conditions and a high near 82 degrees. Winds Tuesday shift out of the southeast at 18 to 22 miles per hour, stronger than tonight's gusts.
The pattern means unsettled weather lingers into Tuesday afternoon, with clouds building through the evening. Anyone with outdoor plans this week should watch the timing closely, since the storms are expected to increase as Tuesday goes on rather than clear out.
For neighbors heading into the work week, a soggy commute is more likely Tuesday than Monday night. The breezy conditions could also complicate anything outdoors, from yard work to evening errands, and winds picking up to 22 miles per hour by Tuesday afternoon add another layer for anyone driving high-profile vehicles or hauling trailers around town.
Two days, two different wind directions, and one steady climb toward stormier skies by Tuesday afternoon.
