Forecasters say storms are developing near Texas on Monday, September 14. As the system moves out of New Mexico, cities in the state’s northernmost area could be hit.<\/p>\n

According to the Amarillo office of the National Weather Service (NWS<\/a>), a wave of thunderstorms will enter the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles by Monday afternoon. Western towns, including Borger, Vega, and Stratford, face rain chances beginning at 3 p.m.<\/p>\n

“Storms will be moving from west to east throughout the afternoon and evening,” the NWS says. “Some showers may still linger into the overnight hours.”<\/p>\n

In the evening, forecasters say showers in the northwest could result in heat bursts<\/a>, defined as “rare, atmospheric nighttime events characterized by gusty winds, a rapid increase in surface temperature, and a decrease in surface dewpoint.” Winds could reach up to 60 mph.<\/p>\n

The agency says there is a 25 to 40% chance of systems forming near Vega and a 10 to 25% chance near Dumas and Stratford.\u00a0Borger,\u00a0Pampa, Wellington, and Perryton will likely see some rain, but it may not carry frequent lightning or thunder. The overall regional rain chance is sitting between 60 and 90%.<\/p>\n

Locals with outdoor plans this week should stay alert for changing conditions. Meteorologists expect heavy rain or torrential rainfall in storms that form on Tuesday, September 15. Flash flooding across the region is already a concern, though forecasters say there’s only a 10 to 15% chance as of now.<\/p>\n

During the day, the Amarillo area can expect highs around 94 degrees, but breezy winds around 30 mph could bring some relief. After sunset, temperatures should drop near 72 degrees.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Keep an umbrella on you \u2014 rain chances in the Panhandle are present each day through Thursday, September 17.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Forecasters say storms are developing near Texas on Monday, September 14.
