Rest of This Week

It'll be another mild day to start the week with highs in the 70s and 80s. West winds will also increase and become breezy, which will result in elevated fire danger this afternoon especially on the Caprock.

The westerly breeze will persist overnight, keeping temperatures on the mild side beneath a partly cloudy sky.

Mostly sunny and warm conditions are expected Tuesday, with light winds.

A potent storm system will move across the Desert Southwest and into West Texas by the middle of the week, with increasing chances for rain showers and thunderstorms arriving Wednesday into Thursday. The greatest potential for showers and storms will be Thursday, where locally heavy rainfall and a low threat for severe weather are forecast. Continue to monitor the forecast over the next couple of days.

Temperatures will finally return to more seasonable levels this week. Chances for showers and thunderstorms also increase beginning early Wednesday and continuing through Thursday, with drier weather to follow Friday and Saturday.

Local Weather History For November 17th...

2004 (13th-17th): After an unusually wet start to the month, a slow-moving upper low entered West TX and then stalled for
a few days generating multiple rounds of rain and even some snow on the South Plains. Initially, on Saturday the 13th of
November, it was cold enough for considerable snow to fall over areas mostly north and west of a Plainview to Littlefield
line. Lubbock briefly had snow mixing with rain Saturday morning, but thereafter temperatures slowly warmed during the
event. The event started Saturday and ended Wednesday, November 17th as the upper low finally resumed an easterly push.
During this event, the lowest amounts of moisture (including rain and melted snow) occurred over the far northwest South
Plains which received 2 to 3 inches. Almost all areas southeast of a line from Turkey to Plainview, Levelland, and
Brownfield had more than 4 inches of rain. Some areas received over 6 inches. South and west of the South Plains heavy
rain with some flooding occurred, including over much of the remainder of West Texas and Southeast New Mexico. As for the
effects of such a record breaking precipitation event at this time of year across the South Plains area, many cotton and
peanut farmers who hadnt been able to harvest their crops were severely impacted. Since the rainfall was spread out over
so many days
