LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – A quick pattern change is on the way. The week will start warm, dry, and windy before a cold front slide through cooling things down for Tuesday. A small chance for rain returns by Thursday, but for much of the region, the next few days will stay quiet.
On Monday, strong westerly winds will kick up across the South Plains, driven by a developing low-pressure system over the Rockies.
Highs tomorrow(KCBD)
As winds blow downslope from higher terrain, the air compresses and warms. That’s why temperatures will surge well above average, reaching the low to mid-90s, especially off the Caprock.

Those same downslope winds will dry the air out. Humidity will drop to near 10% in some locations, which means elevated fire weather conditions for much of the area.
