Amarillo, TX – A warm and sunny Sunday is on the horizon for Amarillo, with highs reaching the upper 60s to low 70s. However, breezy southwest winds up to 25 mph may create challenges for outdoor activities. Residents are advised to secure lightweight objects and be cautious of elevated fire risks due to the dry, gusty weather.
According to the National Weather Service, today’s high will reach 61°F under clear skies, with light winds gradually shifting from the west to the south. Tonight, temperatures will dip into the low 40s, with south winds picking up to 15 mph. Sunday will bring warmer conditions, but winds will intensify, especially during the afternoon. Sunday night will cool down to the mid-30s, with a shift to calmer north winds overnight.
