Amarillo, TX – Residents in the Texas Panhandle should brace for an active end to the weekend, with thunderstorms likely Sunday evening and a noticeable cool-down starting Monday. A 70% chance of showers and storms arrives after sunset Sunday, with rain potentially lingering into the early hours of the new week.

Outdoor plans late Sunday should be wrapped up early, and residents are advised to secure loose items ahead of gusty winds.
Showers remain possible Monday with highs dipping to the low 80s—about 15 degrees cooler than Saturday’s heat. Another round of rain and storms could return Monday night, keeping skies unsettled into Tuesday morning before sunnier weather builds midweek…
