Amarillo, Texas – Amarillo is gearing up for a week of near-average high temperatures, with Tuesday and Wednesday expected to be the hottest days, potentially reaching into the upper 90s. While the chance of hitting 100°F is low, residents should prepare for warm conditions throughout the week.
According to the US National Weather Service Amarillo Texas Facebook page, isolated thunderstorms are possible on Monday. However, the probability of storms increases significantly later in the week, with thunderstorm chances listed at 20% on Tuesday (primarily north of the city), 50% on Wednesday, 50% on Thursday, and 30% on Friday. These storms could bring much-needed rain but also localized gusty winds and lightning.
Motorists should exercise caution if traveling, particularly during the mid-week period when thunderstorm activity is higher. While no significant travel impacts are anticipated at this time, sudden downpours can reduce visibility. Residents should also ensure outdoor items are secured and consider postponing outdoor activities during peak storm times. This weather pattern is typical for mid-July in the Texas Panhandle, emphasizing the need to stay hydrated and take breaks if working outdoors.
Authorities advise residents to stay updated on the latest weather advisories, as conditions can change rapidly. Further alerts regarding severe weather, if any, will be issued by the National Weather Service.
