Fire Weather Planning Forecast for The Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles
National Weather Service Amarillo TX
126 AM CDT Tue Aug 18 2026
.DISCUSSION...
Hot, dry and breezy conditions are expected to bring widespread
elevated fire weather concerns this afternoon. Southwesterly winds
around 15 to 20 mph with RH values as low as 15 percent are expected
through sunset today. However, a plume of moisture is expected to
move into the Northern Panhandles come Wednesday that will likely
limit any fire weather concerns to the Southern Panhandles.
