City of Lubbock to Test Outdoor Warning System Friday

LUBBOCK, TX — The City of Lubbock will conduct its routine test of its Outdoor Warning System Friday morning, June 13, at 9:30 a.m.

The test lasts approximately 3 minutes and will activate the city’s outdoor warning sirens. This is only a test, not a sign of severe weather or an emergency.

The system is tested regularly on the second Friday of each month. However, if the National Weather Service forecasts a 10% or greater chance of thunderstorms on the day of the test, the activation will be canceled and not rescheduled.
