KLBK Chief Meteorologist Jacob Riley has updated the weather for April 22, 2026. Clouds are expected to return to the forecast area as clouds increase, and winds will increase out of the south-southwest. Temperatures will remain warm throughout the night, with the lower elevations of the Rolling Plains remaining the warmest. High temperatures are predicted to peak in the mid 80s to mid 90s on Thursday, with winds shifting to the west-northwest later in the day as a weak cold front enters the region. A Red Flag Warning has been issued for nearly all of the predicted area from late Thursday morning through early Thursday evening. On Friday, slightly cooler temperatures are expected, but most areas will still warm into the 80s and low 90s during the late afternoon hours. On Sunday, high temperatures will peak at around 90s, with high temperatures expected to remain above the mid-80s.
