Amarillo, Texas, is in for another round of hot weather starting Tuesday, July 29. Temperatures are expected to hit around 94°F, making it the hottest day of the week. With clear skies and rising humidity, the heat will feel even stronger, creating uncomfortable conditions, especially for outdoor workers and those at risk.
Rising Temperatures and Increased Humidity
The heat in Amarillo will peak on Tuesday, July 29, with a forecasted high of 94°F. The air will be dry, and with little wind, the heat will feel even more intense. As humidity levels rise, the conditions will be less bearable, increasing the risk for those working outdoors or vulnerable residents.
While winds from the south will pick up in the afternoon, they won’t provide much cooling relief. Calm winds could make the day feel even warmer than expected, so it’s important to take precautions, such as staying hydrated and avoiding excessive outdoor activity.
Weather Shifts Late in the Week
While Tuesday and Wednesday remain dry, the weather pattern will start to shift on Wednesday night. This will lead to an increased chance of thunderstorms by Thursday evening and into Friday.
Although the chance of rain isn’t very high yet, the possibility of localized downpours and gusty winds is a concern. There is no severe weather forecast, but residents should stay informed about any weather updates.
What to Expect Through the Weekend
By Thursday, a 20–30% chance of thunderstorms will move in, with skies becoming cloudier overnight. Friday will see a higher chance of rain, increasing to around 30%. Thunderstorms could bring heavy rain and gusty winds, but they are not expected to be severe.
The weekend should bring partly sunny skies with temperatures hovering around 90°F. The risk of storms continues into the evening on Saturday, but by Sunday, the weather will calm down, with temperatures back up to around 93°F and a diminishing risk of storms.
