Actually didnt even see that it showed snow for SE Tx. I just looked at the 5H chart and saw it showed a low of 25. This would be the earliest snowfall on record for Houston

Because the Euro has been forecasting heat 7-10 days out consistently since update :lol:.

Serious note, the Pacific pattern differs between the two.


To Ntxw's points ... you guys know I generally bow in the direction of King Euro but even I have to admit that it's not what it used to be. Not saying that 12z GFS run will verify but I just don't think we're in an environment these days where we can "bank" on the Euro.

How much time do we have before the 18z run?

The 18z GFS starts running in about an hour.

No, that's no fun cooking food with a large group of people when it's 80 degrees outside, AC on constantly. Been there done that. I remember it being cold enough in San Antonio during some Thanksgivings to warrant a fire in the fireplace. Had a nice fireplace ambiance in the early morning several times while watching the Macy's parade on tv.

Bob Rose:

Long-range forecasts indicate the current Jet Stream pattern will more of less hold in place for at least the next couple of weeks. Some colder air is expected to break loose and push south into Texas this weekend and also just before Thanksgiving. But this won't be unusually cold air.

Few changes in the position of jet stream pattern are expected as we move into December. Long-range forecast solutions continue to indicate the coldest air will remain well up to the north for at least the first week or two of December.

I’m surprised someone hasn’t created a “Texas Winter 2017-18” yet. I guess Winter is officially cancelled.

There is one. It was created back in February.

I do like that the Euro has been sticking with the Texas rain event but the EPS doesn't really support the op. Also, the EPS is ugly in the long range. Pacific jet roaring straight across the Pacific and basically no cold air in N. America by the end of the run.

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

For the latest GFS runs, I'll get my heart rate up in a few days if the trend continues. Those 240-hour runs were about the only thing exciting the last 2 winters.

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 at least not yet,

I think that last run was very drunk so I agree with Bubba. In between runs Mr. GFS slept, sobered up, and is having coffee. Still exciting to see though!!!
