Warm, windy pattern raises fire risk next week

  • February 15, 2026

LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – Love is in the air. So is fire weather.

Valentine’s Day started with clouds and scattered showers, then cleared as a Pacific cold front slid through.

Last night’s storm dropped beneficial amounts of rainfall.

Showers have since tapered off. Drier air continues to move in, and northwest winds ease as surface high pressure settles overhead.

High pressure aloft builds in, which promotes sinking air. As the air sinks, it dries, so clouds struggle to form. Highs climb back into the low 70s.

Temperature trendTemperature trend(KCBD)

Early next week, winds pick up as temperatures push into the 80s. Warm temperatures combined with low humidity and sustained winds of 30 to 40 mph create elevated to critical fire weather conditions, especially in areas that did not receive meaningful rainfall this weekend.
