Amarillo, Texas – Sweater weather could arrive early across the Texas Panhandle as a strong cold front threatens to drop high temperatures by as much as 20 degrees through the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Amarillo, cooler air is expected to move south Friday into Saturday, bringing increased cloud cover and rain chances. While average highs for early September usually remain in the 80s, models suggest parts of the region could struggle to reach the mid-60s by Saturday — a range more typical of late October or early November.
Cities including Amarillo, Dalhart, and Pampa may experience highs in the 55° to 65°F range if the colder probabilities verify, though there’s currently only a 10% to 25% chance of that outcome. Most areas still have a decent shot at staying in the 70s, but forecasters urge residents to monitor updates as the front approaches.
Travelers and weekend event planners should stay weather-aware. Drastically cooler daytime temps and possible drizzle could impact outdoor plans, especially by Saturday afternoon.
This is a developing pattern. More updates are expected as confidence in the cold front’s intensity grows.
