On January 9, 2025By Littum

AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) – A weather system will arrive in the Panhandle today, bringing accumulating snow to much of the area.

From 6, snow has already begun along and south of I-40, including in Amarillo.

The snow will continue to pile up for the rest of the morning. The heaviest bands of snow are likely to form during the afternoon, if they do.

The northwestern part of our area will likely see only light snow, but a winter weather advisory has been issued for the rest of our area, including Amarillo, where two to four inches of snow could accumulate by evening. Where the heavier bands of snow settle, there may be some locally higher amounts.

Travel could become hazardous Thursday afternoon with potential snow-covered roads and some refreezing tomorrow night, increasing the danger as surfaces turn icy.

Residents are strongly advised to plan accordingly and stay updated as conditions worsen over the next 24 hours.

Roads are likely to remain icy through Friday morning, until temperatures get above freezing later in the day. Wind chills will be in the teens and 20s later in the day.
