Current active Radar for the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandle.
After the weather system exits tonight we'll transition to warmer temperatures on Saturday through Monday. As we head into mid next week another weather system may bring a chance of showers and storms to the northwest Panhandles.
A chilly day in the southwest today with mild temperatures in the northeast. Tonight lows could get down to the point of frost and possibly a freeze in some areas across the northwest.
April continued the trend of hot and dry conditions across the Panhandles this year. All of our climate sites reported average temperatures 4 to 5 degrees above normal, placing all four sites among the top five hottest Aprils ever recorded. While Dalhart and Guymon received some precipitation, rainfall was nearly non-existent in Amarillo and Borger. Still, all four sites were well under our normal for the month with both Amarillo and Borger well more than an inch under the normal.
