Extended Forecast

Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will linger through early Tuesday morning, with a brief lull in activity Tuesday afternoon. Chances return Tuesday evening, becoming more widespread. The severe threat remains low, though heavy rainfall and winds in excess of 50 mph cannot be ruled out.

A few strong to severe storms are possible Tuesday afternoon and evening, primarily across portions of the South Plains and the far southern Texas Panhandle. Strong wind gusts over 60 mph are the main concern.

Hot temperatures persist and storm chances increase during the afternoon and evening, especially west of I-27. High temperatures will be in the mid 90s to low 100s, warmest off the Caprock. #lubwx #txwx

A gradual cooling temperature is expected from mid-week into the weekend, with temperatures returning to near seasonable values by Sunday. After a few dry days, storm chances return Friday through Sunday.

Local Weather History For September 15th...

1962: Hail, wind and heavy rain struck northern Lamb County this afternoon causing complete destruction of cotton and
sorghum in some areas. Hail damage was heaviest in a strip two miles wide and ten miles long in an east-west strip five
miles north of Olton. A possible tornado destroyed a barn and twisted trees on the Willie Green farm six miles north and
one mile east of Olton. At the Harlon Carson home near the Green Farm, windows on the south and east faces of the home
were blown out, screens torn off, roof damaged, and a well house blown over. Hail was generally small, but covered the
ground up to six inches deep. Rainfall was very heavy, with three to five inches estimated over the span of two hours.
