.SHORT TERM ...
(This evening through Saturday night)
Issued at 141 PM CST Fri Feb 21 2025

For Amarillo, it has been at least 84 consecutive hours of 32
degrees or lower since late Monday night.We have finally got
above freezing here in the Amarillo area, along with several other
locations across the Panhandles. Most likely in the far eastern
Panhandles, you may have to add another 24 hours of at or below
freezing temps through tomorrow morning. By tomorrow however, with
a favorable H850 WAA flow and W/SW sfc winds, all of the
Panhandles will reach high temperatures well into the 50s with a
few areas reach 60 degrees with abundant sunshine. A great start
to the coming weekend!

.LONG TERM ...
(Sunday through next Thursday)
Issued at 141 PM CST Fri Feb 21 2025

Dry conditions with temperatures warming up will be the main
overview of the long term forecast period. Subtle perturbation
will traverse the southern CONUS through this low amplitude
sinusoidal regime. But with scant moisture advection, if any from
south Texas, in-conjunction with large scale subsidence within the
vicinity of the southern stream H250 jet, downslope flow and
continued low level WAA should allow temperatures to respond
nicely. When a few degrees above latest guidance by Monday where
H850 thermal ridge will be set in place with high temperatures
Sunday through Tuesday will be above average. In particular for
Monday, there is about a 10-20% chance high temperatures for
portions of the TX Panhandle could be at or above 80 degrees. As a
surface cold front return for Tuesday through the remainder of the
forecast period, temperatures will only drop from well above
normal to slightly above normal as we go into the final few days
of February.
