Heat Advisory in effect; Isolated storms possible on Caprock - fox34.com
Lubbock is once again under a Heat Advisory.
Residents should prioritize staying inside during peak afternoon hours, especially if you had plans for a stroll down Broadway or an outdoor workout near Texas Tech. The persistent heat quickly causes dehydration and heat stress. It affects everyone from kids playing at Maxey Park to folks working outside. After enduring 18 days above 100 degrees in the last three weeks, this summer is proving to be a truly punishing one.
Many are likely wondering when our typically dry heat will finally give way to some sustained relief.
