Through Monday:



and then next Wed/Thu:

I really hope it keeps on trending better for us here in DFW.

Now you guys call me on this if you think I'm trying to pull something out of nothing (several consecutive non winters will do that to a fella) ... but when I see this upper air pattern and know that surface temps at this time will be below freezing for much of Texas ... that energy in the SW is prone to kick out some shortwaves over the state.

And your point would be .... ??

I was agreeing with you about shortwaves being kicked out over Texas from the energy in the SW.

Sunday is in the 20s all day at DFW with some light snow with a howling north wind.

I hope this is a good sign for January and February.

Thanks for clarifying. I didn't understand obviously. That's what years of an Omega Block over Austin has done to me ... I'm now an Omega blockhead.

I love that snow cover being laid down in about a week. Would love for that to happen then have a huge cold blast come down and blanket us all in snow. I can dream.

I hope it continues to trend colder for SE Texas since WXman57 refused to come to the negotiating table

Nice trend.

Euro has teens at DFW even Sunday morning. Highs around 29.

From 7 to 10pm Saturday night DFW goes from mid 60s to low 30s.

Teens after 70s just some hours earlier jesus

I think this qualifies as a blue norther.

Euro also has quite a bit of precip next Tuesday Night/ Wednesday morning with temps around 33-34 degrees. Monday stays below freezing too, Tuesday mid 30s.

Both Euro and GFS are in pretty good agreement

12z Euro has two HARD freezes for Austin coming up this weekend with lows in the mid 20s and high temps for three consecutive days don't climb above 36. Wow.

As exciting as this may be, we gotta remember wxman57's advice about don't trust anything more than three days out at this point.

500mb height pattern is more conducive to storms and cold with the trough coming from our west. We've highlighted this period for awhile now. Good trends Porta, good trends indeed. One thing you can count on is the cold will not slip east. Only threat is warmth from the east flexing back but the cold will likely win out here in TX

I might have to visit my sister this weekend in San Marcos to see some Freezing Drizzle I'm I right Porta?
