Here is a look at dew point temperatures from earlier. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure-img img-fluid mx-auto d-block\" alt=\"Dew points at 3:56 PM\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/F355NEEPJZD6XJXE7XCHG7TX24.PNG\" width=\"980\" height=\"534\" \/>Dew points at 3:56 PM(KCBD)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Think of the dew point as a measure of how much moisture is already in the air. The higher the number, the muggier it feels outside. Normally in July our dew points are in the 50s. Today they\u2019re in the 60s. That extra moisture means any storm that develops can produce heavy rainfall in short amounts of time. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure-img img-fluid mx-auto d-block\" alt=\"Rain chances will continue into Friday and Saturday before tapering off.\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/UZE5J7LBPZA6ZAVPLZ5SY7N7YI.PNG\" width=\"980\" height=\"553\" \/>Rain chances will continue into Friday and Saturday before tapering off.(KCBD)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Scattered showers and storms will continue through Friday, with the best chances south and east of Lubbock. A few showers could still make it into the Hub City this afternoon and again Friday. While severe weather isn\u2019t expected, localized flooding is possible where heavier storms develop. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure-img img-fluid mx-auto d-block\" alt=\"Highs tomorrow\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/7JSX5CIKEBAC5CCFGXHFRQMTDI.PNG\" width=\"980\" height=\"557\" \/>Highs tomorrow(KCBD)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Even if you don\u2019t see rain, you\u2019ll notice a big difference outside. Cloudy skies, humid air, and highs only in the mid to low 80s. That\u2019s about 10-15 degrees below normal for mid-July. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The cooler, unsettled weather is being driven by a slow-moving storm system just south of the region. As it pulls away this weekend, rain chances will fade and temperatures will begin climbing. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure-img img-fluid mx-auto d-block\" alt=\"Temperatures will increase next week.\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/JXZLHPB2L5CAJK7PHTUU5JZQ4I.PNG\" width=\"980\" height=\"550\" \/>Temperatures will increase next week.(KCBD)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">By next week, summer returns in full force with mostly sunny skies, dry conditions, and highs back in the upper 90s and low 100s. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure-img img-fluid mx-auto d-block\" alt=\"7 Day Forecast\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/4BVFWGFQ7ZD4RJZY5F4CYIM5G4.PNG\" width=\"980\" height=\"549\" \/>7 Day Forecast(KCBD)<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 KCBD.
