by The Texas Panhandle is preparing for a combination of thunderstorms, gusty winds, and heavy rain as we move closer to Tuesday, July 22nd. The city of Amarillo, in particular, is forecast to encounter thunderstorms beginning in the afternoon, with gusts of up to 25 miles per hour. Because of the potential for these storms to produce periods of heavy rainfall, visibility and road conditions may be negatively impacted. Because stormy weather is forecast to continue through the evening, travelers are urged to remain vigilant and make any necessary adjustments to their plans.
The most severe storms are expected to emerge by four o’clock in the afternoon, according to the National Weather Service. These storms are expected to strike certain areas of the Panhandle, including Amarillo. These storms have the potential to bring about severe rainfall that is only temporary, as well as the threat of localized floods in certain places. On the roads, drivers should be prepared for slick conditions, and those who have plans to go outside should take care to avoid getting trapped in potentially dangerous conditions.
In the future, Amarillo may anticipate weather that is slightly less turbulent on Wednesday, July 23rd, with partly sunny skies and a high temperature of 92 degrees Fahrenheit. The evening, on the other hand, will bring back the possibility of showers and thunderstorms, albeit a very modest one. Temperatures will reach their highest point of approximately 96 degrees Fahrenheit on Thursday, July 24th, and will linger in the mid-90s throughout the remainder of the week.
Despite the fact that temperatures will drop significantly on Friday, July 25th, the possibility of scattered thunderstorms will still be present, particularly in the late afternoon. The current pattern will continue into the weekend, and there is a possibility that storms will continue to develop until Sunday, July 27.
