Check out these ripples on satellite, or what we call gravity waves associated with the strong cold front making its way south through west Texas. Current temperatures behind the front is 54 in Amarillo after a high of 91 degrees yesterday afternoon. #phwx #TXwx #OKwx

Anyone get large hail near or NW of #Umbarger tonight? Impressive storm passed through that area and we have very few reports given lower population in that area. #phwx

The most uncertainty for the dryline setup will be for areas in the central Panhandles for Friday. Whether the dryline will set up further to the east or back west to near Amarillo will be the big question for where severe t-storms develop. Check for updates! #phwx #TXwx #OKwx

A low pressure system is still on track to bring rain/snow to area with the #txph #okph under the deformation zone. Surface temps and terrain will play a large part in any snow accumulations. Snowfall rates are expected to cause visibility issues at times. #phwx

A cold front is expected to move through Monday morning bringing colder temperatures and breezy conditions. Wind chills will be in the teens during the morning hours, so be sure to bundle up when leaving the house! #phwx #txwx #okwx
Strong cold front almost to Amarillo. Expect north winds at 25 to 35 mph with higher gusts thru day and wind chills in the teens by this afternoon. Some snow flurries are possible later this AM into early PM. Light accumulations possible mainly in the north. #phwx #okwx #txwx

Tues-Thurs look mild with a breeze on Wed. Fri & Sat look to take a turn towards cold and slight chances for snow overnight. The wind with the front will be the big deal. #phwx

While we haven't officially been declared in an El Nino yet, we are well on the way to it. One way to look at how El Nino works is that we will get many more chances (or darts) to try and get moisture here. We usually see a system every week or two. #phwx

What is happening with the weather Friday & Saturday? The system moved south, so icing is limited to the south and could start from 1 AM Friday until snow starts around 6 PM. Snow totals range 1-3" in the north and 3-6" in the south. #phwx

A cold front will push through#phwx Saturday evening and overnight. Windy to very windy conditions are looking possible behind the front, extending all the way into Sunday morning. Monitor the latest forecast for travel conditions on Saturday night and Sunday. #txwx #okwx

Stay safe out there today and tonight. Slow down and leave extra space between cars and be sure to protect your pets. Temps overnight will be in the 20s, but it will feel like single digits to teens. #phwx
When will the snow start today? The northern areas may start early this afternoon, and the far southeast probably won't see snow start until later tonight. Most snow will fall overnight with only light snow possible in the morning. #phwx
