Tracking *colder* weekend weather for Amarillo

Well, turns out Mother Nature has a sense of humor. After spending the last 72 hours talking about how beautiful the weather will be all week long and into next weekend…

I get a curveball.

And this is a nasty sliding-out-of-the-strike-zone pitch that leaves me swinging, missing and screwing myself into the ground.

Wow.

The 06z GFS computer weather model decided – to quote Todd Mansfield, “all the sudden!” – to deliver some different numbers for Saturday across the Texas panhandle.

Highs projected to be in the 40s. Yes. Forties.

Widely scattered rain showers, most light, will dot the landscape with breezes from the north at 15 to 25mph.

We’ll see if this hold true. Like always, I’ll be watching it closely.
