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. More: Check here for live updates as storms bring tornado damage in West Texas, watch remains While the storm system produced several confirmed tornadoes west of the city - including in Hockley and Cochran counties - and NWS Lubbock forecasters saw enough indicators to issue warnings for Lubbock County and the city, there were no confirmed reports of tornadoes touching down in Lubbock during Thursday's weather event, according to the city of Lubbock. 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."

Isolated storms return to eastern New Mexico Friday with hotter weather
Severe storms moved through eastern New Mexico Thursday afternoon. Another round of isolated storms will develop Friday with hotter and mostly dry weather this weekend. A couple tornadoes touched down in Roosevelt County this afternoon, but thankfully there were no reports of damage. Those storms have been out of New Mexico for a while, but a few storms have redeveloped tonight around Clovis. These storms will also move out of New Mexico soon. Drier weather will continue to move into New Mexico into this weekend. Storm chances will still be possible Friday afternoon in far eastern New Mexico. That includes another threat of severe weather. Temperatures will continue a warming trend across the state Friday. On Saturday, only a spotty shower or two is likely in northeast New Mexico, but on Sunday, more isolated storms are possible in northern and eastern New Mexico. Temperatures will again continue to warm up through the weekend, with Sunday being the hottest day for most. More moisture will move into eastern New Mexico Monday, bringing a better chance for showers and thunderstorms up to the northern mountains as well. Outflow from those storms will push moisture as far west as the Continental Divide Tuesday morning. This will bring a more widespread chance for storms Tuesday afternoon. Rain chances move back into eastern parts of the state Wednesday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
