LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – It hasn\u2019t been quite as hot today as yesterday, thanks to an outflow boundary (think mini cold front) that moved across the area this morning. In fact, at mid-afternoon it\u2019s in the 80s north of Lubbock in the Panhandle. The wind has since shifted out of the SE this afternoon, with a lot of humidity in place.<\/p>\n

Storm potential tonight<\/p>\n

There could be an isolated storm that develops in our area through late afternoon. But with it not as hot as yesterday, this chance is pretty slim.<\/p>\n

Looking west, scattered thunderstorms have developed over the mountains and higher terrain of New Mexico, west of U.S. 285. There have been a few severe warnings out that way.<\/p>\n

We expect these storms to continue moving east, eventually getting to the state line close to sunset. The computer model below is a little faster than others, but gives the general idea. At the same time, the farther east storms move, there will be less support for these to continue. <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re west of Lubbock, it\u2019s a better chance you\u2019ll get some rain tonight.<\/p>\n

Looking to the west. The Storm Prediction Center has issued a severe thunderstorm watch for Northeast New Mexico, including Curry and Roosevelt counties. The watch runs until 10 p.m. MT\/11 p.m. CT.<\/p>\n

\"SevereSevere thunderstorm watch in green(KCBD)<\/p>\n

A severe thunderstorm watch means severe weather is possible. Warnings will be issued when severe weather is happening.<\/p>\n

Back here to our area…while not everyone will see a thunderstorm, the ingredients are in place for damaging wind and possibly hail. There is less shear (twisting of the wind with height), leading to a lower hail risk than yesterday. Most storms yesterday didn\u2019t produce a lot of hail, but the storms near Cone, on the Floyd-Crosby county line, and in Levelland both produced very large hail. Some reported baseball-sized hail in Levelland.<\/p>\n

Here is the Storm Prediction Center outlook, showing a level 2 out of 5 risk rest of today into tonight from Tatum to Littlefield to Dimmitt. Lower risk Lubbock and surrounding areas, shown in green.<\/p>\n

\"StormStorm Prediction Center outlook tonight(KCBD)<\/p>\n

Thursday<\/p>\n

Tomorrow will be hot, high near 100. There will still be a good bit of humidity in place.<\/p>\n

Once again, some late day storms are possible…though the chance at any one location is only about 1 in 10. <\/p>\n

\"ComputerComputer model projection tomorrow evening(KCBD)\"ComputerComputer model late Thursday(KCBD)<\/p>\n

A few storms could be strong late tomorrow, main risk gusty wind. <\/p>\n

\"StormStorm Prediction Center outlook Thursday(KCBD)<\/p>\n

Looking ahead<\/p>\n

Friday brings a repeat forecast: hot, low chance for an isolated storm late. <\/p>\n

\"ModelModel projection Friday evening(KCBD)<\/p>\n

The weekend will be really hot, around 101-102. Then it will drop back by a few degrees for the last days of June. But, no surprise, summertime heat is hear to stay.<\/p>\n

App update<\/p>\n

Several people have let us know radar isn\u2019t working on our KCBD First Alert Weather App. We apologize for a bug in the app. It\u2019s not happening for everyone, but if this is you…hopefully this will resolve it.<\/p>\n

Look for an update in your app store. If it\u2019s not showing there, search for the app and see if there is an update listed. You should see version 6.2 (specifically on my phone it shows 6.2.517). It looks like 6.1 is the version with a bug.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t see an update, or this doesn\u2019t resolve the radar issue, please delete the app then re-install. Hopefully this gets radar functioning again.<\/p>\n

Several people have told us this is the only app they use, and it\u2019s critical when storms are out there. I apologize that we let you down with this bug in the app. <\/p>\n
