Cold front Wednesday bringing cooler, windier weather

Lubbock wakes to a pre-dawn cold front Wednesday, turning winds northerly and temperatures cooler. A brief sprinkle is possible off the Caprock, but the day stays largely dry with morning clouds as the system moves through and mostly sunny skies. North winds strengthen by midday, with gusty, windy conditions lasting into early evening, even if the cold air isn’t especially sharp; this front will be stronger than Tuesday’s. After sunset, high pressure settles in, winds ease, and skies clear, setting up mid to upper 20s overnight. Mild weather carries into the weekend, with only low rain chances Monday.
