There is no verified, detailed forecast yet for Friday, October 30, or Saturday, October 31. The numbers here come from historical patterns and seasonal averages, not a confirmed prediction. Afternoons this time of year generally reach the upper 60s to lower 70s.

After sundown, things tend to cool off considerably, with readings potentially dipping into the 40s later in the night. It's West Texas, after all.

Halloween on a Saturday helps. Most kids won't have to get up early for school the next morning, and parents skip the bedtime negotiation with a seven-year-old who just ate three pounds of chocolate. Friday should also be a popular night for parties, haunted attractions and other festivities around Lubbock.
