hot

West Texas has been feeling the heat with triple digits over the past week. No matter how many times you experience the brutal temperatures that August brings, you always seem to forget just how bad it is as the next year comes around.

Despite the small break from the Texas summer heat we experienced in late July, the weather is back with a vengeance as it decides to scorch Lubbock with several triple digit days in the coming week.

This weather event is impacting Texas the most from July 22nd to the 26th, but the current Lubbock forecast is showing a continuation of temps below 100 after the first few days of August.

Things like wide-brim hats, fans, staying in the shade, and enjoying a cold drink are always good things, but sometimes you want to try something different.

Does Lubbock Have Heat Islands?

It's getting warmer every day in Lubbock, and people can't wait.

There have been far too many stories in the news this summer about parents leaving their kids in the car while they go in and shop. This is not okay! We all know that a quick trip in the store can end up being much more than that.

According to Discovery, this is the third worst drought on record for Texas.  In fact, Big Spring Texas has had less than 0.1 inches of rain in the last couple of months. In order to keep the town water supply from going dry, Big Spring will be… uh… Recycling their sewage water.
