LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – Temperatures will continue to run above to well-above average in the days ahead. Autumn will end with record warmth on the South Plains.
Weather today is a near repeat of yesterday, but with a little less of a breeze. The day will be sunny with a few clouds late in the afternoon and evening. Winds will be a little lighter, for most of the area at most times, near to a little less than 10 mph.
Highs Wednesday will be similar to the day before — well-above average for mid-December.(KCBD First Alert)
Partly cloudy tonight and not as cold. My forecast lows are at least ten degrees above average for mid-December. Lubbock’s average low for the date is 28°. A bit of a breeze though, around 10 to 20 mph, from the southwest early gradually shifting to the northwest.
Southwesterly breezes will result in less cooling overnight.(KCBD First Alert)
Tomorrow won’t be as warm. Highs, however, will still be five or more degrees above average.
Much above average temperatures return Friday and Saturday. My forecast high for Friday is just below the record for the date, while for Saturday it is a little above.
Lubbock’s record high for December 20, this Saturday, is 80°, set on the date in 1921.
Above to well-above average high temperatures through early next week.(KCBD First Alert)
In addition to record warmth, Saturday will be mostly sunny though the afternoon windy. Saturday is the final day of Autumn.
There will be a slight drop in temperatures Sunday, the first calendar day of Winter. The drop will be noticeable, but highs again will remain mild for the time of year.
Forecast peak sustained winds are shown in this graph. Peak gusts will exceed the values shown here.(KCBD First Alert)
This dry and seasonally warm pattern shows no sign of changing. At least through the Christmas holiday weekend.
