Sun dogs! Also called, parhelia, mock suns, or false suns. They appear at the same elevation and to the right and/or left of the sun, about 22° away on either side. By the way, that’s about the… Pictures by Steve and Maria Divine. 😊 #DivineTiming #SunDog #Parhelia #Lubbock

that’s about the distance from the tips of your little finger to your thumb if you spread your hand and hold at arm’s length. Ice crystals, like little prisms, refract the sun’s rays, creating these spots - sometimes dim white, sometimes times the rainbow effect like today.

Areas highlighted under FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS through mid-evening (Wed). Numerous flooded roads in those areas (including a majority of roads in Cottle County). Avoid driving into water of an unknown depth. Many flood-related deaths occur when drivers ignore that advice..

Reminder, track storms w/ the Interactive Radar in the free KCBD Weather app. Radar echoes animate, lightning layer does not. Tap “Alerts” for current warnings/watches. Tap the Severe Thunderstorm Watch for additional info. Do the same with the warnings (yellow polygons).

The main severe threat across most of the area is strong wind gusts. For eastern areas, especially off the Caprock, large hail is also a concern. Locally heavy rainfall may result in flooding of low areas, streets, and other areas where rainwater typically collects.

The SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH highlighted in the video I just posted has been cancelled. HOWEVER, a new SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH has just been issued for the southern KCBD/FOX34 viewing area (until 2 AM CDT:

Another round of showers and a few embedded thunderstorms are expected tonight. Cooler and more stable conditions will keep the severe threat relatively low, though strong wind gusts and an instance or two of large hail is still possible, especially off the Caprock.

The usual way we post videos is, for a reason unknown to me, not working this evening. I've made several attempts with no success. I have, however, posted about the significant changes coming our way. You'll find it this evening - early Tuesday at kcbd.com/weather

Our warm but otherwise mild weather continues Saturday. Gusty winds will develop Sunday afternoon, helping to boost temperatures to well-above average. This very warm spell will be followed by our next chance of rain.
