LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - A stretch of summer heat highlights our South Plains weather the rest of this week. While a stray thunderstorm or two may pop up in the heat late each afternoon, most of the KCBD/FOX34 viewing area will stay dry through Friday afternoon.

The South Plains will stay hot and mostly dry through Friday, with a slight increase in storm chances over the weekend.

It's a cooler-than-typical week with increasing rain chances late in the week.

The pattern of the past few days continues tomorrow, then a wetter but brief pattern is expected to end the week.
