Lightning Safety

An active weather pattern is expected to develop late this week. This will bring daily chances for thunderstorms beginning on Thursday and continuing through the weekend. Some severe storms and flash flooding are possible. Currently it appears that Saturday will have the most widespread storm activity.

A cloudy and relatively cool day is on the way today with most locations only seeing highs in the 60s to near 70 degrees. A few showers and storms are also possible, especially on the Caprock, but storms are currently not expected to be severe.

After a day of quiet weather on Wednesday, thunderstorm chances increase each day Thursday heading into the weekend along with warmer temperatures. Some storms may be severe each day.

March 2026 was the warmest March ever recorded at Lubbock.

Your chance of being struck by lightning greatly increases when remaining outdoors during a thunderstorm. When thunder roars, go indoors.

Local Weather History For April 7th...

1959: A tornado likely caused heavy damage to a bowling alley south of Denver City this afternoon. At 3:35 PM, a funnel
cloud was observed five miles south of the city with no visible condensation touching the ground. In reality, tornadic
winds were likely in progress at the surface during this time and created the heavy structural damage. No injuries were
reported. Small hailstones also occurred with this storm. Either the same storm or a different one altogether produced a
funnel cloud 15 miles northwest of Lubbock at 4:37 PM.
