Brace Yourself! Amarillo Could Hit Record Highs This Monday

It's no secret that the weather in the Texas panhandle can be unpredictable and crazy. We broke all kinds of records over the summer. Palo Duro Canyon was constantly opening and closing trails because of rain. Next week, the wacky panhandle weather continues when we could potentially see record highs in Amarillo.

Weather Whiplash In The Texas Panhandle Next Week

Looking at the National Weather Service Amarillo's Facebook page today to prepare for next week, a piece of information stuck out. They put out a graphic earlier today showing potential highs for Monday and Tuesday of next week. While the numbers themselves didn't look too bad, it was what they represented that made me roll my eyes.

Friends and neighbors, we could start the week by getting close to record highs just in time to get hit with a cold front. My joints are already killing me just thinking about it.

Record Highs And A Cold Front Next Week In Amarillo?

According to the National Weather Service Amarillo, we could see temps get really close to record highs on Monday. I wonder what the chances are of us actually tying or breaking the record. Looking at the numbers, we'll be really close.

The National Weather Service has the high temp on Monday being 93. When you look up the highest temp for Amarillo on Sep 30, the record is 95 which was set in 1977. I'd say there's a chance we could at least tie the record. I wouldn't even count out potentially breaking the record.

If you're losing your mind over potentially seeing temperatures in the mid-90s, don't worry. There's supposedly a cold front coming in on Tuesday. Weather whiplash strikes in the Texas panhandle again.
