Amarillo, TX – Severe weather could strike the Amarillo area starting Thursday night as a cold front moves in, bringing moisture from the Gulf of Mexico. Forecasters warn that the exact impact of these storms depends on the timing and strength of the front, which remains uncertain. If the front arrives quickly and with force, rainfall may be minimal, leaving much of the area dry through the weekend. However, a slower-moving front could lead to prolonged and heavier rainfall, particularly in the Panhandles.
According to the National Weather Service in Amarillo, residents should prepare for potential storms beginning Thursday night and lasting into Friday. The heaviest rainfall is expected ahead of the cold front, particularly if it moves slowly. Those in the affected areas should secure outdoor items, review emergency plans, and stay updated with the latest weather information. Monitor local forecasts closely as conditions may change rapidly.
With the holiday weekend approaching, any shifts in the storm’s path could alter outdoor plans. Officials advise staying informed and taking precautions to ensure safety during this unpredictable weather event.
