I'll go with a 60 degree swing at DFW from 12z.

Considering the 12z had temperatures colder than ever seen in November

Yeah I expect a wild swing. I don't see any support for an extreme cold solution.

Will it still be cool?

temps look pretty seasonal next week at worst which is still better than a lot of recent weeks.

the Friday record heat has also disappeared. Probably no warmer than today.

we'll see... still a lot of uncertainty with how the Thanksgiving storm pans out. Could be 50s if it rains significantly.

when is the storm supposed to get here?

.LONG TERM...
/Friday Onward/

Models have come into much better agreement for the timing of the
Friday/Saturday front, giving increased confidence for this
forecast. Albeit, there are still some mesoscale factors that will
come into play such as eroding cloud cover.

Models show a strong moisture inflow from the south and southwest,
suggesting a slower erosion to cloud cover. This in turn will limit
the pre-frontal torch on Friday and keep some low POPs in the
forecast.

After the passage of the front, the weekend will see cooler drier
weather. Gusty winds will fill in behind the front on Saturday.

Tuesday may see some low chances for precip across our southern
counties as a shortwave passes just south of us, but the better
chances look to be on Tuesday and Wednesday. Both the ECMWF and
the GFS show some sort of system moving through midweek next week,
though they differ greatly on what that system looks like.

Highs well into the 60s on Thanksgiving on the GFS

Brent wrote:GFS is gonna be much warmer after Thanksgiving too... not surprising

Brent wrote:the arctic blast in the plains at 12z is replaced by a megatorch almost to Canada

Now this is believable.

instead of teens there are 70s this run

gonna be even warmer on Thanksgiving than the 18z. If we get much warmer we can go for a record high
