Tornado warnings give Lubbock first true test of new outdoor warning system

Lubbock's relatively new Outdoor Warning System got its first true test in a non-simulated situation Thursday when a line of tornado-warned storms moved through the county. The sirens came through loud and clear, adding a layer of alerts to the smart phone notifications, local media and other warnings residents received after the National Weather Service in Lubbock issued multiple tornado warnings Thursday evening.

The outdoor warning system, with 45 sirens, came online in 2022 and has periodically been tested by the city - typically on Friday mornings once a month. The City of Lubbock initially budgeted around $1 million for the project and approved a contract with the Oklahoma-based Goddard Enterprises in February 2021 for $710,415, the Avalanche-Journal reported at the time. The city of Lubbock released a statement late Thursday after the severe weather system moved through the area. "At approximately 6:55 p.m., the National Weather Service included Lubbock, Texas in a Tornado Warning. This warning activated the Outdoor Warning System (OWS). This Tornado Warning also activated the Integrated Public Alert Warning System (IPAWS). These emergency warnings provided our citizens the best opportunity to get indoors & seek shelter immediately before the storm entered the City of Lubbock, Texas. Currently, the City of Lubbock does not have any confirmation of a tornado touching down within the city limits of Lubbock, Texas. Additionally, the City of Lubbock has zero reported injuries related to the storm. The storm that did come through the City of Lubbock posed a great amount of structural damage, debris in roadways, and severe roadway flooding. Several residents within the city limits are experiencing power outages. Lubbock Power & Light and South Plains Electric Cooperative are actively working to restore power and will continue to work throughout the night. Lubbock Power & Light is reporting approximately 1,400 customers without power. Lubbock Fire Rescue, Lubbock Police Department, the City of Lubbock Office of Emergency Management will continue to monitor damages and conditions."

Thursday, June 5 forecast: Friday begins with stormy weather and a risk of flooding

Heavy rain led to dangerous flooding in Greene, Webster, Wright, Pulaski, and Laclede counties yesterday. Three water rescues were performed in Webster County, where an estimated 3″ to 5″ of rain fell. Download our KOLR 10 weather app That was just the latest wave of heavy rainfall that leaves the area at risk for more flooding when the next wave of rain arrives Friday morning. Flood Watches are posted for this risk, centered over Southern Missouri and Northern Arkansas, where the core of the next wave of storms is expected to sweep through. Aside from the flooding risk, this storm could also bring damaging winds of 60-70 MPH. The risk of an isolated tornado is low, but it's not zero. At this stage, it appears the highest chance for severe weather will occur south of Hwy. 60 across Southern Missouri into Northern Arkansas. The storms will also sweep through during the morning drive, making for a dangerous commute to work. Friday morning's wave of storms should mostly move out of the area by early afternoon, with some sunshine trying to develop by late afternoon. A spotty shower or thunderstorm will remain possible through late in the day and into the evening, but most areas will be dry. Another big wave or rain and thunder will likely develop Friday night across Oklahoma. This storm complex may track a bit further south from Oklahoma and across Arkansas. Like Friday, there will be a risk of damaging winds and heavy rainfall, with chances for both more likely near and south of the state line. Thunderstorm chances will continue into Saturday afternoon and evening with a few stronger storms with hail or wind possible. Sunday is looking drier and brighter, but there will be a chance for additional showers and thunderstorms late in the afternoon or evening as another front drops south through the area. Between the two days this weekend, Sunday looks nicer and warmer. A stronger cold front should clear the area Monday, ending the stormy pattern. We'll also enjoy a stretch of less humid weather with morning lows that will dip into the upper 50s Tuesday and Wednesday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
