Amarillo, Texas – Amarillo and the Texas Panhandle could see a 15-degree swing in Monday’s high temperatures, depending on cloud cover and afternoon clearing.
Cloudy conditions are expected across the eastern Panhandle to start the day, with partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies farther west. According to the National Weather Service in Amarillo, forecast highs range from the upper 50s in the east to the low 70s in the west.
Forecasters say the central Panhandle carries the highest uncertainty. If low clouds linger longer into the afternoon, highs may remain in the mid-50s to low 60s. If skies clear sooner, temperatures could climb into the 70s across much of the region.
South winds are expected to increase to 10 to 15 mph in the afternoon after light and variable winds in the morning.
Cities including Canadian, Wheeler and Wellington are forecast to remain in the upper 50s, while Dalhart, Boise City and Vega could reach the low 70s. Amarillo’s projected high sits near the upper 60s, depending on how quickly clouds break.
The uncertainty may affect after-school activities and outdoor work schedules, especially in communities near the central Panhandle cloud boundary.
Forecasters say warmer air is in place, but cloud duration will determine how much heating occurs before sunset.
