The National Weather Service in Lubbock has issued a flash flood warning for the region until 5 a.m. Sunday morning as widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected through noon Monday. After an earlier thunderstorm, scattered showers continue with the potential for severe storms later this evening, bringing risks of heavy rainfall, hail and strong winds. Cooler and drier conditions are expected to settle in after the weekend, with another chance of rain later in the week as the low approaches. Residents are urged to be vigilant and prepared for possible flooding in the coming hours.
A more stable pattern is expected early next week, but with another storm system approaching from the west, rain chances could return by Thursday, with forecasts pointing to a potential 40-50% chance of precipitation. Residents are advised to be alert as conditions develop.
