Texas Winter 2025-2026

[Cpv17]

Look at what the GFS has been doing. Oklahoma is gonna be a freeze box for a couple of days. This is not LaLaland this is later this week that's had some substantial changes.

That’s gonna be insanely cold for Iowa, holy crap.

Another cold 1045mb+ high coming down behind it, same trajectory. The dome of cold is centered in Chicago but expansive enough I think warm ups will be muted or shortened followed by below normal, again the closer you are to that center of cold gravity. -WPO.

GFS suddenly has freezing temps to the coast single digits just east of me

If you remember the first cold wave in mid November it was similar path as these coming waves, so I guess we did get shown the hand early. So temps/anomalies a little colder than that given date.

It's also getting into the true medium range (144 or less is my metric) so there's still plenty of time changes to occur.

There's a clear trend towards Texas if you run the loop

Still a week out who knows it could be over us by then

Dry, but having a 1040mb+ overhead is ideal for radiational cooling. Also relative to averages that's pretty decent amount of cold, it's likely to outdo the positive anomalies for sure. It's late December when you see the extreme numbers from the blasts of the past.

Even in the long range the GFS has trended colder, also looks like a complete split of the PV on the GFS
