NWS Ft. Worth has NOT upgraded to Winter Storm Warning for DFW (Dallas and Tarrant counties) yet. Denton County and other Northern Sections are however under a Winter Storm Warning.
I think it's very strange to see a Winter Storm Warning and Tornado Watch over the same areas!
what really bothers me is that fact that the LCH office forecasts Beaumont at 52F on Friday behind the front and then they put Houston at 59F. Does that make sense? Why would Beaumont be so much colder than Houston behind the front with both places under sunny skies? Also, why is Beaumont forecasting MID 40S next Monday while they decided to put Houston near 60F for highs? That also makes no sense..right?jschlitz wrote:Maybe they are PO'd at us for questioning their resoning so much?? Just kidding. That is a little odd. I've never quite read one like that. I understand it but WOW. Also the forecaster used "blue northers" to describe the north wind gusts, which isn't what a blue norther is - it refers to the actual front itself. I've never seen "blue northers" plural before.
He/she must not be from 'round these parts
As for why it's from LCH, in the past it has been usually due to a software problem where they can't issue; an adjacent office needs to for them.

Were they not allowed to change what Houston had forecast this morning? Or did they just decide to keep our forecast the same while dropping theirs a ton? It makes no sense at all..

The point is that they have had completely busted forecasts before. Did not the D-FW NWS not even mention snow or ice earlier this week?

It's more like Abilene to Decatur to Gainesville - it has already cleared Bridgeport and Ardmore - I expect the obs out of Decatur to drop any minute.
looks like they are even helping in the short term forecasts too.double D wrote:Extremeweatherguy wrote:what really bothers me is that fact that the LCH office forecasts Beaumont at 52F on Friday behind the front and then they put Houston at 59F.

I think sometimes the software they use to write discussions have techincal difficulties and they ask adjacent Lake Charles NWS to assist them in the discussion. If I'm not mistaken it has also happened to Austin/San Antonio NWS and Forth Worth NWS had to fill in.
