Amarillo, Texas – A cold front could bring significantly cooler temperatures to the Texas Panhandle Sunday or Monday, potentially dropping highs below 50 degrees.
According to the US National Weather Service in Amarillo, models are still uncertain whether the front will pass through the region Sunday or Monday. Regardless of which day it arrives, forecasters say temperatures behind the front could remain under 50 degrees.
Probability guidance shared by the agency shows a 50–70% chance of highs below 50 degrees in northeastern portions of the Panhandle, including areas near Beaver. Central areas such as Borger show a 30–50% chance, while southwestern locations show lower probabilities between 10–30%.
The Weather Service noted that confidence is highest in the northeastern Panhandle and lowest in the southwest regarding how widespread the cooler air will be.
Ahead of the front, warmer conditions are expected to continue. Forecasters indicate highs in the 80s are possible Sunday for locations that remain ahead of the boundary.
The timing of the front will determine how long early spring warmth lingers before cooler air settles into the region. Commuters and students returning to school Monday may notice a sharp temperature change if the front arrives overnight.
Officials encourage residents to monitor updated forecasts as models refine the timing and strength of the system.
