Questions about the weather in Amarillo TX?
I know that this year changes to the year, so I'm looking for average or typical responses, please and thank you! How often and how much does it snow there? What is the frequency of winter storms, regular snowfall, freezing rain or sleet and blizzards? The city is well equipped to handle (salt / sand trucks, plows, etc.)? What is the frequency of hurricanes passing through the region? How often does severe storms, tornadoes, watches, and tornado warnings, as well as real tornadoes hit the region? Thank you all!
"… Changes year to year?, No, at all times.: O) I grew up in Amarillo and the weather is very variable. If you're interested in the weather, its an interesting place to study:. First, the easiest question Amarillo never hurricanes, are not directly anyway. We may get some showers left by weak a storm that hit the coast, but that's all. Amarillo is about 600 miles into the Gulf of Mexico. See these summary graphs to answer some of your questions precipitation: The http://www.wunderground.com/NORMS/DisplayNORMS.asp?AirportCode=KAMA&StateCode=TX&SafeCityName=Amarillo&Units=none&IATA=AMA&lastyear=on&normals=on&records=on the city is trying to "Tornado Alley" so that each spring, we watch several tornado warnings. The same can be said for the storms. We say people that we could only get 18 inches of rain a year, but you must be there the day we get it! It's a bit exaggerated, but Perhaps not much of one. Summers are hot and dry. Temperatures often reach 100 ° C, but the relative humidity is about 15%, or to the heat bearable, somehow. Blizzards are common in winter. There is no accumulation much, maybe 4-5 inches, but when the snow is driven by 60 mph winds from the north, the drifts can accumulate and poor visibility may make driving or even walking very dangerous. It can become so severe that semis were blown over on Interstate east-west. City maintenance crews do a good job in these circumstances but blizzards PERSON handles well on this planet. The good news is that snow rarely lasts long as it melts days off two or three later when temperatures reached the 50s. Then the cycle begins again. Finally, there is an interesting phenomenon common to the Texas Panhandle weather that you did not mention. There is a reason that the Amarillo High School mascot is, I'm not kidding, a storm of golden sand. (Go Sandies!) Each spring, the first three inches of New Mexico come blasting in my beloved hometown to 70 mph more than once. Whee!
