LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) –
After a windy, dusty afternoon yesterday, your Friday will stick to a calmer script.
Calm, mild conditions today(KCBD)
The system that was responsible for yesterday’s dust is gone and behind it a weak front is expected to slide through. But because it is expected to arrive after a full day of sunshine, it won’t impact temperatures as much. Highs will climb into the upper 60s and low 70s.

Once the front moves in, skies will clear, humidity drops, and winds lighten. A nearly perfect recipe for a chilly night ahead. This set up allows heat to escape quickly and lows may dip into the 20s to low 40s
Saturday will be pleasant and quiet, light winds and sunshine with temperatures in the 60s, the next weather-maker is already lining things up.

As the day winds down, winds will turn southeast late Saturday night and will pull moisture back into the region.
Far to our southwest, an upper-level low that has been lingering near Baja California will finally start to move. As it lifts into New Mexico, it drags deep Gulf moisture northward into our area.

By early Sunday morning, that combinations turns the atmosphere into a sponge ready to wring out.
If that moisture arrives quickly enough, Sunday could become a widespread rain day.
Showers look increasingly likely to develop around sunrise and become widespread through the afternoon. Temperatures will fall back into the 50s and low 60s.

There’s the possibility of a few thunderstorms as well, especially east of I-27, where moisture and instability will be highest. While this isn’t expected to be a severe event, any storm that pops up could be a meaningful rainmaker.
However, these chances hinge that moisture. If it doesn’t arrive as fast or as deep as predicted, rainfall coverage and intensity could end up lower.
But we will continue tracking the system and update you with any developments.
By late Sunday night, any storms that develop are expected to clear out as dry air rushes back in.
Monday returns to quieter more typical November weather.
