Texas Winter 2024-2025

Lastly shortwave kicks out and snow/ice inside the deep cold air for some in the state with fluff.

I just need one good snow event. Just one. Don't care if it's a nice coating or 2'+. Just need something

If it indeed gets that cold, you won't need much qpf my friend. Even 0.02" liquid will do it.

Glad we are making the Costco run tonight. Timing is perfect.

Doing a Kroger run tomorrow. Did not have firewood on the list but I do now.

The Icon is brutal with the cold

Getting concerned about another hard freeze down here.

Definitely on the table, CPC is sending warning shots

BAM Weather on X:
“Pro tip: You never wanna be in the 6-7 days out friends lol.

Now we wait.”

GFS is still the warmest of the bunch, cold but nothing extraordinary. While the CMC, ICON has teens and 20s on Weds, GFS says we warm up to 40s, 50s, and 60s!

[Harp.1]

Gfs continues to be the outlier

[Ntxw]

OTOH this is what the GFS has sitting in the northern plains by Monday morning. Will it just sit there?

[Stratton23]

Lol the GFS is about to look like a loony tunes character

The wife and some of her friends have a trip to Broken Bow next Thurs-Sun and the temps there look brutal on Thursday. Hopefully they don't have to cancel

Just in time for next weekends Mardi Gras parades. Guess everyone will have to bundle up

So what's a weeks difference to mother nature from our coldest ever temp recorded at DFW.

I'm not saying next week the hammer will drop, but does 1 week later really matter for a potential historic cold snap?

Realistically we can get that cold. In fact single digits is even possible into early March for areas I-20 on north (10F 1943). The argument is climo but with the right delivery pattern and cold source it can happen.

Ryan Maue is hinting at how extreme this could be…

12z Euro largely holds serve. Will note at 500mb both Euro and UKMET did kind of take a slight shift towards the GFS with the western S/W less of an influence/less southerly dig, but still cold. This feature we will be watching closely in the coming days because it has impacts on precipitation inside the cold dome.

Euro has a storm as the cold exits next weekend.

Im interested to see just how cold we get next week given that the global models handled last weeks cold front in north texas terribly. Model busting cold looks like its on the table here.

DFW record lows for the 20th-22nd are 19, 18, 19. If there is ice/snow I would say we could be significantly colder.

Sure hope we get some cold and snow before winter shuts down. Cold at least looks more likely. And at least ice, though I hope it's more snow.

even at a minimum the ensembles are 25-30 degrees below normal, thats pretty cold even for late february, but seeing 40-50 degrees below average on the ICON really gets you’re mind going for sure, arctic express train is coming!
