But it's the next push of arctic air that has many concerned.

It's recommended during this time that you stay home, but if you do get out, make sure you are dressed for it and cover all exposed skin to avoid hypothermia and frostbite. High temperatures on Monday in the Amarillo area will be in the 20's while Lubbock's high is supposed to be 30. Temperatures across the state on Tuesday are expected to rebound into the upper 30's and low 40's.
