An active morning gave way to a mild afternoon across the region, but radar activity is expected to pick back up heading into the evening and overnight hours. The atmosphere is holding a lot of moisture right now, which raises the chance of heavy rain in spots, though not every area will see it. That activity is likely to carry over into daytime hours Friday before conditions calm down.
The pattern isn't done yet, either. Rain chances return each day once the new work week starts.
For anyone in Lubbock making weekend plans, the timing works out. Friday still carries some risk of scattered storms, but Saturday and Sunday should offer a real chance to dry out after a stretch of wet weather.
Those few dry hours this weekend, sandwiched between storms on one side and a full week of rain chances on the other, are about as close to a breather as the forecast gets right now.
