FV3 will replace the GFS. Not so much that it is a whole new weather model but rather the computing and physics of the GFS will change to the new system. Better data assimilation allows the new dynamic core to have better skill scores, trying to close the gap on the Euro. Each year essentially the GFS gets improvements in calculating formulas and computing power but this will be the first nearly complete change of the core dynamics of how the model is run. It's like gutting a car for a new and better engine.


Thanks Ntxw! I hope it is an improvement over the GFS.


Well the FV3 did a very good job with the last artic blast we had a couple weeks ago. It was the first model to latch onto the cold.

Before we get to any cold weather the HRRR has a line of supercells over the metro after dark tomorrow :double:

Yeah was just about to post that. Quite chilly for the S :cheesy:

Side note: For the month of November, I have ended up with 2.19" of rain. 1" below normal. Most of it came during the 1st week. Not terrible but rain is still overdue

So maybe the winter folklore is true. Tornadoes and severe weather mean snow in a week. It happened in houston earlier this month!

The last few runs of the GFS are really cutting back on rain totals for next weeks system as well. Looking more like the Euro now.

The CMC has 4” in DFW in the same time frame. With a week out I think right now we just need to keep tabs on the system and the cold. Run to run there will be change. Same way the Dec 3rd system is still changing back a forth.

At least the FV3 is showing cold nearby though.

My Weatherbug app is giving me a 30% chance of a rain/snow mix here in Wharton for next Saturday. Makes me wonder what model they are using cuz I haven’t seen any that have snow this far south. It’s kind of weird cuz usually that app is conservative.

Air is warm and juicy on this last day of November. Will be interesting to see how far west the severe threat advances this evening.

On this last day of November 2018 the current monthly mean is 52.0 @ -4.8 below average. We wont get as warm today with the cloud cover so November is locked to end with a below average mean.

This will make Fall 2018 for NTX the coolest since 2009, and wettest on record :ggreen:

Today will likely keep the average up a little bit for the month but as you said well below normal from start to finish. In fact Fall 2018 will finish somewhere a little bit more than 65F average which barely misses top 10. 65F is right at #10. Considering how warm Falls have been the past 20-25 years it's been a long, long time since a true cold Fall..
