CANYON, Texas (KFDA) - Our recent tornado events, especially the destructive one late at night last week, should have been a reality check for many about the importance of storm safety and awareness. Bob Dean showed me where his daughter’s play set used to be. They have not seen it since the recent tornado that inflicted heavy damage in the Madison Park neighborhood. It was all part of a rather unusual weather event.

AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) - There are many facets to my job, and one of the most rewarding is working with young meteorologists on our team. From mentoring and sharing knowledge and experience professionally, to having fun together working as a team — or even making frequent taco runs — the young meteorologists are a joy to have around. Of course, over nearly four decades there have been many. Our latest has been Tanner, about to take his next step after starting here.

We are moving into a rather stagnant August weather pattern which is providing comfortable mornings followed by hot afternoons. Highs today will be in the upper 90s to around 100 for some spots. Rain chances are slightly better late today as popcorn storms fire up after the heat energizes the atmosphere. Rain chances will still be spotty, however, running at 20%. Lows tonight will back down into the low 70s before the upper 90s return tomorrow afternoon.

A drawn out period of hot weather is shaping up for our area as we battle a dome of high pressure that will keep daytime temperatures hot for the next several days at least. After starting with pleasant morning temps near 70, afternoons heat will quickly take over. Optimistically, we may stay in the upper 90s tomorrow and Thursday, but highs exceeding 100 are likely from Friday through the weekend.

August heat will continue for the foreseeable future. A dome of high pressure will sit over our area causing prolonged sunshine and highs at least near 100 all week. An occasional isolated late day storm may pop up in the heat, but these will be hit and miss at best. Mornings will continue to be nice, but by midday we can expect some hot temps that will last for the remainder of the day. Copyright 2024 KFDA. All rights reserved.

A cold front is moving through our area today and will provide some much awaited relief from the August heat that has been so prevalent lately. Temperatures today will be much cooler behind the front with highs only in the 70s for northern counties and 80s in Amarillo. The souther part of our area will still experience 90s before cooling late today. By tomorrow, highs will only be near 80 for our area and it looks like we may enjoy 80s again on Saturday. Rain chances are also looking much better.
