Amarillo, TX – The Texas Panhandle faces two possible weather scenarios this Sunday: rain and thunderstorms or warm, dry winds.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Amarillo, the forecast remains uncertain. A 40% chance exists for rain and thunderstorms if high pressure keeps a low-pressure system further south. In this scenario, moisture from the Gulf would move into the Panhandle, increasing the likelihood of precipitation.
Alternatively, there is a 60% chance that high pressure weakens, allowing low pressure to shift north. This would result in dry air moving into the region, keeping conditions warm, dry, and windy.
NWS notes that some areas could experience both conditions, with the southwest staying dry while the northeast sees rain. Residents should monitor forecasts for updates. Windy conditions could elevate wildfire risks, while thunderstorms may bring heavy rainfall and lightning.
Prepare for changing weather by securing loose outdoor items and reviewing safety plans. If storms develop, avoid outdoor activities and stay indoors. Check forecasts frequently as conditions evolve.
