The KCBD forecast confirms what most of us already feel stepping outside onto University Avenue. We're locked into a classic August pattern. Expect consistently high temperatures, mirroring the first half of the month's relentless heat. These will peak mid-week across the South Plains, pushing thermometers even higher. Evening storms have only a slight chance of popping up, mainly north and west of the city, from Wednesday through Saturday. Don't expect much rain for your backyard in Raintree or Tech Terrace.
This forecast means higher utility bills will continue for homeowners battling the heat. Outdoor events around the Depot District or South Plains Mall visits will remain sweatier affairs for the foreseeable future. Anyone hoping for an early fall breeze to enjoy a walk near Maxey Park will simply have to keep waiting.
Despite the high temps during the day, nights will be clear and warm, with lows barely dipping below typical August readings.
