Chalk another Winter outlook success up to the "Halloween Anology" this La Nina was cooler/wetter for much of Texas this year, which sure as hell beats what we had the last 2 winters... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh, and let's give props when do, wxman57 came through on his promiss for most!! However :lol: He still owes DFW, so at some point next winter we are going to come collecting on that :ggreen: :ggreen:


You're welcome about the snow and cold this winter, but next winter is MINE! :firedevil:


Puhleeze! Winter doesn’t belong to you, never has, never will. After years of making some here believe that you were behind the Wizard’s curtain controlling the buttons and dials, we finally saw through the charade this year.

You’re like the Abominable Snowman in “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer”...without teeth!!!

In other words, “we aren’t scared!” :D

More like a baby's diaper than the Abominable Snowman! :Toilet: :jk:

This is a pretty slow moving line of storms, hopefully it gets everything out over the airport before midnight to break the record.

Water flowing everywhere in the streets right now here in Denison.

February 2018 kind of resembles May and June 2015.

Without the ice storm last week and the corresnding power outages, of course. :lol:

Can never get enough of this. Something about EPAC tropics + western trough is always magic in Texas!

I hope we get this set up again in April and May boy would that be fun

Euro EPS is carving out another big western trough in the longer range.

Hope it digs a little deeper next time. South and central TX has missed out on the heaviest rain so far this year. Currently have rainfall totals near normal.

MESOSCALE PRECIPITATION DISCUSSION 0052
NWS WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER COLLEGE PARK MD
725 PM EST WED FEB 28 2018

AREAS AFFECTED...NORTHEAST TX...SOUTHERN AR...NORTHERN
MS...SOUTHWEST TN...NORTHWEST AL

CONCERNING...HEAVY RAINFALL...FLASH FLOODING LIKELY

VALID 010030Z - 010500Z

SUMMARY...CONVECTION TRAINING OVER AREAS WITH SATURATED SOILS IS
EXPECTED TO PRODUCE FLASH FLOODING INTO THE LATE EVENING HOURS.

DISCUSSION...REGIONAL RADARS SHOWED AXES OF LOW TOPPED CONVECTION
FORMING AND MOVING IN A BROAD WARM AIR ADVECTION PATTERN AHEAD OF
A SHORT WAVE OVER THE SOUTHWEST STATES. THE BEST CONVECTION
EXTENDED FROM NORTHEAST TX INTO SOUTHERN AR AND NORTHERN
MS...CLOSEST TO THE BEST INSTABILITY (WHICH FORMED DURING
DIFFERENTIAL HEATING DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS). THE MOST RECENT
GOES-16 CLEAN IR LOOP SHOWED A LONG FETCH OF MOISTURE STRETCHING
FROM THE EASTERN PACIFIC ACROSS WEST TX INTO THE LOWER MS AND
LOWER TN VALLEYS. WITHIN THIS DEEP MOISTURE PLUME...THE MOST
RECENT RAP ANALYSIS SHOWED 1.75 INCH PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES...WHICH ARE ABOUT THREE STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE THE MEAN.

THE AXES OF LOW TOPPED CONVECTION WERE ALIGNED WITH THE 850-300 MB
MEAN FLOW...AND TRAINING WAS OCCURRING WITH THE CONVECTION ON THE
NORTHERN EDGE OF THE INSTABILITY. BASED ON REGIONAL
RADARS...HOURLY RAINFALL RATES RANGED BETWEEN 0.50 AND 1.00
INCHES. HOWEVER...THESE RAINFALL RATES WERE OCCURRING OVER AREAS
WITH SATURATED SOILS...WHERE 5 TO 10 INCHES OF RAINFALL HAS
OCCURRED OVER THE PAST WEEK. SO... DESPITE THE RELATIVELY MODEST
HOURLY RAINFALL RATES...FLASH FLOODING HAS OCCURRED WITH THIS
CONVECTION.

THE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AHEAD OF THE MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE IS
EXPECTED TO REMAIN MORE OR LESS IN THE SAME PLACE THROUGH AT LEAST
01/05Z...EXTENDING FROM NORTHEAST TX INTO SOUTHWEST TN. THE DEEP
MOISTURE IN THE CONVERGENCE ZONE WILL CONTINUE TO FEED LOW TOPPED
CONVECTION...WHERE THE ALIGNMENT OF 850-300 MB MEAN WINDS AND
PROPAGATION VECTORS SUPPORT TRAINING. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT
INSTABILITY EVENTUALLY BECOMES A LIMITING FACTOR FOR THE EXPANSION
OF CONVECTION...ESPECIALLY AFTER 01/04Z OVER PORTIONS OF THE LOWER
MS VALLEY. HOWEVER...
INCREASING MID TO UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE AHEAD OF THE SHORT WAVE
PROVIDES SYNOPTIC SCALE ASCENT FOR MORE ORGANIZED CONVECTION TO
FORM.

THERE IS GOOD MULTI HIGH RESOLUTION MODEL SUPPORT FOR AN AXIS OF 2
TO 4 INCHES OF RAINFALL EXTENDING FROM NORTHEAST TX ACROSS CENTRAL
AND SOUTHERN AR INTO NORTHERN MS/NORTHWEST AL/WESTERN TN.

SOME HIGH RESOLUTION MODEL SPREAD EXISTS CONCERNING THE PLACEMENT
OF THE HIGHEST RAINFALL AXIS...WITH THE 12Z NSSL WRF AND 12Z WRF
ARW FURTHER SOUTH THAN THE MOST RECENT HRRR. GIVEN THE PLACEMENT
OF THE BEST INSTABILITY INTO THE LATE EVENING HOURS...A MORE
SOUTHERN PLACEMENT OF THE RAINFALL AXIS IS PREFERRED. THE
ADDITIONAL RAINFALL IS EXPECTED TO RESULT IN ADDITIONAL FLASH
FLOODING...OR AN EXACERBATION OF THE EXISTING FLOODING. GIVEN THE
SATURATED CONDITIONS IN PLACE... DAMAGING AND LIFE-THREATENING
FLASH FLOODING IS POSSIBLE INTO THE LATE EVENING HOURS.

We should get enough rain. The question is, can it happen by 11:59pm!

Looks like the precip shield is widening. Just need that line to tighten a bit for some heavy stuff.

The flow ahead of it is igniting more storms in the more juicy air near DFW and northeastward. See bubba's graphic from the SPC.
