Texas — The early morning haze drapes across the plains, headlights glowing through thick fog over fields and rural highways near Amarillo. It’s a quiet but cautious start to the day for drivers and travelers, as visibility drops below one mile in spots along I-40 and U.S. 287.
The National Weather Service in Amarillo has issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook, noting dense fog through mid-morning and the potential for patchy low visibility south and east of the city. By mid-day, fog lifts into a bright, calm afternoon with highs reaching near 66°F — a brief break before the next change.
Sunday brings a 90% chance of rain, possibly mixed with a few rumbles of thunder after noon. While totals will stay light, the wet roads could slow travelers heading out for early Thanksgiving trips. Conditions improve quickly Monday as the system exits east, leaving behind sunshine, dry air, and mild temperatures for the start of the week.
Looking ahead, Thanksgiving Day across Texas should stay mostly clear, but long-range models hint at a major cold front and possible heavy snow spreading across parts of the central and eastern U.S. between November 25 and December 3.
Five-Day Outlook (Amarillo, TX):
- Today: Fog early, then sunny, high 66°F.
- Sunday: Showers, high 56°F.
- Monday: Sunny, high 65°F.
- Tuesday: Sunny, high 52°F.
- Wednesday: Mostly sunny, high 63°F.
