Winds will lighten a bit on Saturday night, but that cold air will continue spilling in. The Arctic air mass will continue spreading down south. Low clouds will increase, but not enough to trap much heat.
Overnight lows will drop into teens and 20s by sunrise Sunday, and we won’t warm up much after that.
Lows Tonight(KCBD)
Sunday, daytime highs will struggle to stay above freezing in some areas. Sunday could challenge the record for coldest high temperature ever recorded on this date in Lubbock.
