Heat Safety

High temperatures up to 103 degrees combined with dewpoints in the 60s will lead to heat index values up to 107 degrees. Caution should be used if you need to work/play outdoors during peak heating hours this afternoon. A Heat Advisory will be in effect from 1 PM until 8 PM CDT this evening for the far southeastern Texas Panhandle and eastern Rolling Plains.

If you guessed it would be hot again today you are correct! Temperatures will top out in the upper 90s to lower 100s once again today although with a bit more moisture around it will feel slightly muggy. Southeasterly winds will ramp up to 10-15 mph during the afternoon so if you can find some shade the breeze will make it feel a bit more pleasant. Late this afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms will develop across the far southwestern Texas Panhandle into the northwestern South Plains and move north.

Temperatures will be slightly cooler tonight compared to last night thanks to some cool outflow air from thunderstorms to the north. There is a slight chance (20%) of a few of these storms to imp act the far southern Texas Panhandle otherwise the rest of the area will remain dry tonight.

Our stretch of hot weather will continue into next week but there are some signs that a change in the pattern is coming. Precipitation chances will begin to increase across the area Wednesday afternoon and evening with at least a chance of showers and thunderstorms each afternoon and evening through early next weekend.

Hot temperatures in excess of 100 degrees are expected across the Caprock and Rolling Plains today and tomorrow. Know the signs of heat illness and take the necessary precautions to prevent it from happening!

Local Weather History For June 29th...

1987: Farmers in western Floyd County lost nearly all of their cotton, corn and maize crops after early afternoon storms
dropped hail up to golf ball size. The hail was driven along by strong winds inflicting further damage. Worse, about three
inches of rain washed out those crops that had avoided large hail and winds. In Lockney, several carports, power lines and
outbuildings were damaged by winds likely near 75 mph. Similar crop losses were reported from a separate storm in Parmer
and Bailey Counties where at least 2,000 acres of cotton were totaled by large hail and wind gusts to 60 mph. A third
severe storm covered the ground with golf ball hail at Buffalo Springs Lake and along Highway 84 between Lubbock and
Slaton.
