KLBK Chief Meteorologist Jacob Riley has updated the weather for April 21, 2026. Cloudy conditions are expected to continue throughout the day, with temperatures expected to remain above average and low in the mid-night hours of the day. High temperatures will peak in the upper 80s to low 90s, with winds sustained at 15-20mph. However, western areas will have an elevated risk for wildfire conditions, so avoid outdoor burning. There is also a potential for severe storms near the Interstate 27/Highway 87 corridor from 2-10 PM on Wednesday afternoon and evening. Despite this, there is a low-end potential for these storms, including for Lubbock. The weather will remain dry and windy throughout the extended forecast period.
