Amarillo, TX – Relief from summer heat is on the way for the Texas Panhandle, with a noticeable cool-down expected next week.
According to the National Weather Service in Amarillo, a weak cold front will move in beginning Sunday, bringing cooler temperatures, increased cloud cover, and chances for rain. Highs, which have hovered in the 90s much of August, are forecasted to drop into the 70s and 80s through Thursday. Forecasters added there’s even a 10% to 40% chance that some areas could see highs stay below 70 degrees.
Cities including Amarillo, Borger, Dalhart, and Canadian are expected to feel the dip, with the most significant cool-down occurring early in the week. Meteorologists say the shift could mark the season’s first hint of fall after a summer of prolonged heat.
Along with cooler afternoons, occasional showers may develop across the region, further keeping temperatures down. Officials note the trend could bring relief for outdoor activities and reduce strain on energy use after weeks of extreme conditions.
The National Weather Service advises residents to monitor updates as cooler air settles in over the Panhandle.
