Amarillo, Texas – Temperatures across the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles will feel wildly different Monday, with some areas staying in the 60s while others push into the low 90s. The sharp contrast is driven by a cold front sliding south through the region.
According to the National Weather Service in Amarillo, highs may vary as much as 25 degrees between northeast and southwest communities. Cities like Guymon, Beaver, and Perryton are expected to top out in the upper 60s and low 70s, while Hereford, Vega, and Clarendon could remain in the upper 80s to low 90s if the front stalls. Amarillo sits on the dividing line, with highs expected in the upper 70s but potentially cooler if the boundary dips farther south.
Travelers should be prepared for sudden shifts in weather conditions. Cooler air may spark gusty winds in the northern counties, while southern areas could see lingering summer heat. Residents are advised to dress in layers and keep an eye on updated advisories throughout the day as temperatures may fall sharply during the afternoon…
