Texas — The South Plains wake to a cool 38°F under patchy fog this morning, the quiet calm before a damp shift late Sunday. Headlights cut through a light haze across I-27 and Route 84, as Thanksgiving travel begins to pick up across the region.
The National Weather Service in Lubbock reports a mild pattern for most of the weekend, but Sunday brings a 90% chance of rain, possibly mixed with a brief thunder rumble in the afternoon. Showers could reduce visibility and make for slick rural roads during peak travel hours, especially east of town.
Rain moves out quickly by late Sunday night, clearing the way for a bright, breezy Monday with highs near 68°F. The rest of Thanksgiving week looks ideal for road trips or outdoor plans — sunny skies, calm winds, and daytime temperatures in the 60s to low 70s.
To the north, colder air and potential heavy snow are expected to develop across parts of the Central and Northern U.S. from November 25 through December 3, possibly affecting return travel after the holiday. Texans, however, appear to be on the warm side of the system, with below-normal temperatures not reaching the state until late next weekend.
Five-Day Outlook (Lubbock, TX):
Today: Mostly sunny, high 66°F.
Sunday: Rain likely, high 58°F.
Monday: Sunny, high 68°F.
Tuesday: Sunny, high 62°F.
Wednesday: Mostly sunny, high 63°F.
