Amarillo, TX – Winter weather is set to return to the Texas Panhandle starting Friday night, bringing accumulating snowfall and hazardous driving conditions through Saturday evening.
According to the National Weather Service in Amarillo, confidence is increasing in the likelihood of snowfall, particularly in the western portions of the Panhandle. Areas such as Dalhart, Dumas, and Vega have the highest probability—between 70% and 80%—of receiving at least two inches of snow. Other areas, including Amarillo and Borger, face a moderate chance of accumulation, while eastern regions have a lower probability.
The storm is expected to cause significant travel disruptions due to slick roadways and reduced visibility from falling and wind-driven snow. Officials urge residents to stay updated on forecasts, as the exact track of the system remains uncertain and could affect snowfall totals.
Winter weather alerts and advisories may be issued as the storm develops. Motorists are advised to check road conditions before traveling and prepare for potential delays. The Texas Department of Transportation recommends carrying emergency supplies, including blankets, water, and a flashlight, in case of roadside emergencies.
Residents should monitor updates from the National Weather Service and local authorities for the latest weather and travel information.
