A few showers will linger through the late evening period before decreasing in coverage before midnight. Otherwise a quiet and mild night is expected with a pleasant day Wednesday with highs in the 70s to around 80 under clear skies and southerly breezes.

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.
