Isolated showers will hang around overnight, as the boundary stalls and lifts back to the north. Lows will settle in the 50s to low 60s close to sunrise on Saturday. Southeasterly winds are expected on Saturday, bringing in more moisture to the region. Gusts as high as 25-30 MPH will be possible. This will allow for isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms to develop, especially over the eastern half of the South Plains. Highs will range in the 60s and 70s under a mostly cloudy sky.
