Temperatures will climb all day, making it another sweltering August afternoon across the South Plains. This latest weather pattern brings a familiar August heat that has lingered for weeks. Any rain will be a welcome sight for parched yards around Raintree. Folks driving home from downtown jobs or picking up kids near Tech Terrace should expect road conditions to shift quickly as storms pop up.

Your evening plans for an outdoor dinner in the Depot District or a walk through Mackenzie Park might need rescheduling. Drivers should anticipate reduced visibility and slick spots on major thoroughfares like 19th Street and University Avenue, especially during the rush hour.
