Lubbock Begins Work Week with Dry Heat and Clear Skies

The city of Lubbock is bracing for a stretch of hot, dry weather as it moves into the final days of July, with forecasters predicting a continued lack of rainfall through midweek and temperatures climbing steadily each day.

According to the latest outlook, quiet conditions are expected to persist Sunday night into Monday morning, offering some brief overnight relief with low temperatures dropping into the 60s and 70s across the region. While technically not zero, Monday’s rain chances are considered highly unlikely, with most models projecting continued dryness.

Temperatures on Monday are expected to edge slightly higher than Sunday’s peak of 95°F, as southerly winds push warmer air into the region throughout the afternoon. Sunny skies and light breezes will define much of the day’s weather, making for typical late-July conditions on the South Plains.

This trend of dry and increasingly hot weather is expected to dominate through Wednesday and Thursday. High pressure building over the region will keep rain-producing systems at bay for now, meaning the next few days will bring slight variation in the daily forecast: sun, heat, and more sun.

Relief could be on the horizon, however. Meteorologists are watching for a potential pattern shift by Friday, when a slight chance of showers and isolated thunderstorms may begin to re-enter the forecast. These chances are expected to persist into the weekend, although confidence remains low regarding the exact timing and intensity.

Residents are advised to continue practicing heat safety throughout the week. This includes staying hydrated, avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during peak afternoon hours, and checking in on vulnerable neighbors and pets.

With no significant weather systems expected until the weekend, Lubbock remains locked in a typical high summer pattern: hot, dry, and quiet—for now.
