Hartley Fire & EMS said it was about 5,000 acres and was on the south side of State Highway 354, which was closed at the U.S. Highway 385 intersection in Channing. The fire was just north of the site of the Maroon Fire in Oldham County, which spread to Hartley County, burned about 745 acres and shut down part of U.S. Highway 385 on Sunday.

Amarillo, Texas — Active weather is expected across the Texas Panhandle this week, bringing fire danger, storm chances and unusually warm temperatures.

According to the National Weather Service in Amarillo, forecasters are monitoring Monday and Thursday for fire weather conditions, which can increase the risk of rapidly spreading grassfires when combined with wind and dry air.

A separate concern arrives Tuesday, when severe thunderstorms may develop across the eastern Texas Panhandles. Officials said the storm potential will depend on how weather systems evolve early in the week, but the possibility of stronger storms remains under watch.

The agency’s weekly outlook graphic shows breezy conditions Monday with highs near 89°F, followed by storm chances Tuesday with temperatures between about 73°F and 83°F. A cold front moving through the region could cool conditions Wednesday, with highs ranging roughly 55°F to 65°F.

Temperatures then rebound late in the week. Forecast highs may climb back into the upper 70s and mid-80s Thursday and Friday, with breezy conditions returning Thursday and another period of elevated fire weather risk possible.

Forecasters also noted several days could approach near-record warmth depending on how temperatures develop.

Residents across the Panhandle are encouraged to monitor forecast updates throughout the week as conditions may shift, particularly regarding fire danger and potential thunderstorms.

The outlook may also affect students, commuters and outdoor workers, especially on windy days when visibility and fire risk can change quickly.

The National Weather Service Amarillo said additional updates will be issued as forecast confidence improves.
