LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – Today is our one-day break from the heat, before we return to more summer-like weather. While today is noticeably cooler, the typical temperature range here this time of year is around 40 in the morning and 70 in the afternoon. Of course, March usually brings a wide range in conditions.<\/p>\n

With an upper-level ridge building in overhead from the southwest, it will return to sunny and hot weather next few days.<\/p>\n

Tuesday morning\u2019s low will be near 47.<\/p>\n

\"ForecastForecast low Tuesday morning(KCBD)<\/p>\n

By the afternoon it will climb to the upper 80s to low 90s, mostly sunny, steady S\/SW wind 12-20mph. It won\u2019t be quite as hot farther east, though it may feel a little hotter. There will be more humidity over the eastern half of our area. There will be somewhat of a dry line developing, though this isn\u2019t the type of setup like where we\u2019re waiting for springtime thunderstorm development. <\/p>\n

Lower numbers west (dew point in the 20s) shows where the driest air will be, allowing the temperature to climb a little faster. Behind that dry line, the wind will be more westerly through the afternoon.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re forecasting 89 in Lubbock. The record for tomorrow\u2019s date is 88, set in 1929. Records go back here a little more than a century. <\/p>\n

The wildfire risk will be elevated Tuesday afternoon. It will get even hotter Wednesday and Thursday, with the wind also getting a little stronger each day. As a result, the wildfire risk will trend higher day by day.<\/p>\n

\"ComputerComputer model projection Wednesday afternoon(KCBD)<\/p>\n

Wednesday we\u2019re forecasting 94. Record for the date is 91, set last year. Thursday\u2019s forecast of 97 would break the daily record by five degrees, set in 2020.<\/p>\n

Next front<\/p>\n

If you aren\u2019t ready for summer weather to stick around, good news. A strong cold front will move across the region either late Thursday or early Friday. There will be more clouds Friday, and it will be about 30 degrees cooler than Thursday. It will feel even cooler because of the wind, N\/NE sustained 20-35mph, with higher gusts. Friday will likely top out in the mid 60s.<\/p>\n

Saturday will be cooler, then back to the upper 70s Sunday.<\/p>\n

Dry outlook<\/p>\n

This will be another dry week. Looking ahead, some computers are showing an upper-level storm system bringing some rain early to mid part of next week. But this far out, and with as dry as it\u2019s been, we aren\u2019t too optimistic at this point. <\/p>\n
