Some showers possible Monday - KCBD

Lubbock officially baked three degrees above our average yesterday, but thankfully we stayed well clear of the 1943 record of 104. Monday will keep local temperatures firmly in the mid-to-upper 90s, making outdoor activities feel extra heavy. Triple digits are possible just east of the Caprock, perhaps in Slaton or Post. Any real rain chances remain pretty slim. Most moisture will stick to the Panhandle for the day before possibly nudging into our northern areas.
For anyone planning their week, this means keeping your usual summer hydration routine front and center. Widespread relief from the heat or a break for your air conditioner won't come. The limited precipitation will likely be too isolated to cool down your backyard barbecue in Tech Terrace or wash the dust off your truck parked along 19th Street. Your power bill will likely stay high.
