Fire Weather Planning Forecast for The Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles
National Weather Service Amarillo TX
126 AM CDT Mon Aug 17 2026
.DISCUSSION...
Recent rainfall across the northern Panhandles and lighter winds
will limit fire weather concerns today. However, isolated storm
chances and still dry fuels across the southern and eastern Texas
Panhandle could lead to lightning related fire starts. Breezy
southwest winds, hot temperatures, and dry air will return Tuesday,
leading to elevated fire weather conditions across much of the
Panhandles.
