Amarillo, TX – A significant weather system is expected to move through the Texas Panhandle midweek, bringing rain, snow, or a mix of both. Forecasts indicate precipitation is most likely Wednesday afternoon and evening, creating potential travel hazards, especially along I-40.
According to the National Weather Service, the system’s outcome depends on how cold air interacts with warmer southern winds. If colder air dominates, snow totals could rise; otherwise, rain will remain the primary concern. High temperatures on Wednesday will reach 47°F before dropping near freezing at night, increasing the likelihood of snow.
Drivers should monitor road conditions as freezing precipitation could lead to slick surfaces. Local residents are advised to prepare for varying weather conditions and stay updated on forecasts as details become clearer. The system is also expected to cool temperatures for the remainder of the week, with highs dipping to the low 40s and overnight lows near freezing through Friday.
This week’s forecast highlights the importance of remaining weather-aware, particularly for travelers. More updates will be shared as the system develops.
