Thunderstorms Continue Wednesday, Flash Flooding Possible

Today's high sits at 83 degrees, dropping to a low of 65 tonight, according to the Wednesday morning update. Folks in Lubbock who dodged storms overnight should stay alert for more through the day, especially anyone driving low-lying roads prone to standing water when the rain comes down fast.

The station's 7 Day Forecast points to more unsettled weather ahead, so this isn't a one-and-done system passing through. Anyone with outdoor plans this week, from yard work to evening walks around town, should keep half an eye on the sky and the radar.

Flash flooding in Lubbock can turn a quick errand into a mess fast, especially in spots that pool water when storms stack up back to back. Drivers should never push through flooded roadways, no matter how familiar the route.

On a lighter note, KAMC is also running its First Freeze Sweepstakes, asking people to guess when Lubbock will see its first freeze of the season. Temperatures are already trending down, so the guessing window is closing.

Eighty-three degrees and thunderstorms today, freeze bets already open. Lubbock weather doesn't do subtle.
