Latest local news, weather and high school sports from Amarillo

Some isolated to widely scattered showers and t-storms will continue to rumble over the High Plains tonight and early Thursday morning before they dissipate before sunrise. Otherwise, skies will be partly cloudy as overnight low temperatures drop into the 60s to the lower 70s as southerly and southeasterly winds blow at speeds averaging 15-25 mph throughout the night.

Skies will be mostly sunny to partly cloudy again on Thursday and thanks to the fact that the upper-level ridge of high pressure will be located to our east, we will have a chance (although slight) of a shower or thunderstorm during the afternoon and evening hours. High temperatures will warm into the 90s as breezy southerly and southwesterly winds blow at speeds averaging 15-25 mph with some gusts upwards of 35-40 mph possible throughout the day.

***SUMMER OFFICIALLY BEGINS AT 12:04AM CDT!*** Welcome to summer! It will be a typically hot day for the start of the new season, but with the upper-level ridge of high pressure located east of us in North Texas, we will be on the western edge of the ridge ... giving us a slight chance of a late day shower or thunderstorm! High temperatures will rise into the 90s to near 100 degrees over the southeastern TX Panhandle as breezy southerly and southwesterly winds blow at speeds averaging 15-25 mph with some gusts upwards of 35-40 mph possible can be expected. Mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies will prevail on TGI Friday.

If you have any outdoor weekend plans, don't let the slight chance of showers and t-storms scare you away. Just pack away an umbrella just in case you need one. Most of us will be hot and dry as high temperatures rise into the 90s to near 100°. Isolated showers and t-storms will develop and be very "hit and miss." Winds will be breezy and blow from the south and southwest at speeds averaging 15-25 mph with some occasional higher gusts. Mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies should prevail.

Just like what we saw on Saturday, there is a slight chance of a shower or thunderstorm Sunday afternoon and evening, but the majority of the High Plains will just be...dry. High temperatures will rise into the 90s to near 100° as breezy southerly and southwesterly winds blow at speeds averaging 15-25 mph with some occasional higher gusts. Skies will be mostly sunny to partly cloudy on Sunday.
