KLBB radar imagery.

Multiple rounds of showers and storms are expected today, with the greatest coverage expected on the Caprock. Areas of heavy rainfall may lead to flooding by this evening. A few of the afternoon and evening storms may be strong to severe on the Caprock. Breezy south winds are expected today.

A Flood Watch remains in effect for portions of the South Plains and the far southwestern Texas Panhandle, beginning Tuesday morning and continuing through midday on Wednesday. Total rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are expected, with localized swaths of 3 to 4 inches possible. These areas already received several inches of rain over the last week. Flooding is possible. We will continue to monitor and update as necessary.

Portions of the far southern Texas Panhandle and South Plains are in a Moderate Risk (level 3 of 4) for excessive rainfall/flash flooding on Tuesday, September 29th. Swaths of 1 to 2 inches of rain are possible, with localized amounts as high as 3 or 4 inches. Never drive across flooded roadways!

Along with the expected rainfall, severe weather is also possible Tuesday afternoon/evening. Storms may produce wind gusts to 70 mph and quarter sized hail. Tornadoes are unlikely, but a brief spin-up or two cannot be completely ruled out.

A slow-moving system will interact with tropical moisture, resulting in numerous showers and scattered storms through Wednesday. There is potential for heavy rainfall exceeding 2". The best chance for 2+ inches of rain is across the far southwestern Texas Panhandle and the northern South Plains. This heavy rainfall may lead to flooding. Remember: Turn Around, Don't Drown!

The extended forecast features cooler temperatures, breezy conditions, and continued rain chances, some of which may be heavy on Wednesday-Wednesday night.

Local Weather History For September 29th...

1986: Large hailstorms raked portions of West Texas late this day from the Permian Basin north to the Texas Panhandle. On
the South Plains, Lubbock, Lynn, Lamb, and Hale Counties saw large hail that in some cases was as big as baseballs. Golf
ball size hail broke numerous windows and dented vehicles in Acuff (Lubbock County). Baseball size hail occurred near New
Home, but no reports of damage were received.
