Seasonable fall temperatures, rain expected in Lubbock this weekend - Lubbock Avalanche-Journal
<think></think>Lubbock highs are set to drop from the upper 90s into the 80s by Sunday, with rain in the forecast, according to the National Weather Service in Lubbock. Folks here have spent another week baking through highs in the 90s and low 100s, the kind of late-summer stretch that makes a walk down 19th Street feel like a bad idea after 10 a.m.
Folks here have spent another week baking through highs in the 90s and low 100s, the kind of late-summer stretch that makes a walk down 19th Street feel like a bad idea after 10 a.m. NWS Lubbock says a front will start nudging temperatures down midweek, landing in the upper 80s to lower 90s by Saturday and easing into the 80s on Sunday. That's close to normal for this time of year on the South Plains.
The bigger news might be the rain. After a run of dry days, NWS Lubbock says storm chances return Friday and stick around through the weekend. Anyone with plans at the Depot District patios or a weekend outing near Texas Tech might want to keep an eye on the sky.
For regular people, this means the first real break from summer heat in weeks, and a reason to finally turn off the AC for an afternoon. It's not a dramatic cold snap, just a return to what Lubbock weather is supposed to look like in fall.
Seasonable might be the most exciting word Lubbock hears all week.
