Amarillo, TX – A cold front moving into the Texas Panhandle on Sunday could create a sharp temperature divide across the region, with some communities seeing highs in the 50s while others climb into the 70s.
According to the US National Weather Service in Amarillo, the front is expected to stall near the central Panhandles. If it pushes farther south — or stalls and shifts — it will directly impact afternoon temperatures across Amarillo, Potter County, Randall County, and surrounding communities.
Areas behind the front, including parts of the northeastern Panhandle near Guymon and Perryton, have a 10–50% chance of high temperatures staying below 50 degrees. Forecasters say low clouds are likely to move in behind the boundary, limiting daytime heating.
Meanwhile, communities ahead of the front — especially in the southwest Panhandle near Hereford and Vega — have a 60–90% chance of climbing above 70 degrees. Those areas are expected to see mostly sunny skies with only a few clouds.
Amarillo sits near the projected dividing line, meaning temperatures could shift depending on how far the front advances by Sunday afternoon.
Drivers traveling north or south across the Panhandle Sunday may notice rapid changes in cloud cover and temperature within short distances.
