Heat advisories in effect as rain chances move through this afternoon - fox34.com
Lubbock could actually see some isolated showers and storms this afternoon, a rare sight even as temperatures push into the low 100s across the South Plains.
Don't expect massive relief from the heat, though. Highs will still hover around 100 degrees, especially around the Texas Tech campus and the Buddy Holly Hall area. Any rain that does fall will likely be brief and localized, but even a few drops could settle the dust on our parched West Texas landscape.
For residents, this means a slim chance of a temporary cool-down and a welcome break for thirsty lawns from Tech Terrace to Raintree. Friday offers a slightly better outlook, with highs predicted to stay in the upper 90s, maintaining a light chance for more isolated showers. Even with potential rain, overnight lows tonight will only dip into the 70s.
