The period around Feb. 18th looks intriguing for Texas and the prospect for wintry weather. All the models are showing it. As always the details remain to be determined.


Looking like another marginal type of event, same as we've seen a few times across Texas. Maybe snow pellets or sleet again. Not looking like the whole air column will be cold enough for a significant snow event. Still a long way out, though. My initial thought is that we'll see something less than we saw last week in terms of winter weather.


Realistically, is there ever a slam-dunk type wintry precipitation event forecast in the South? It was a sure bet, Winter Storm Warning a couple of weeks ago in Mississippi and Alabama, not even a flurry.

Heavy snow for the D-FW area. I certainly believe it. Hope you do get a snow storm up there. Then we can proclaim winter to be over.

Obviously, this is way too early but according to the GFS.....Early Monday morning frozen precip begins to break out and ends Monday evening! If were anything close to being correct, travel plans Monday and Tuesday need to watched closely!

See? Good setup! Good trends! Not all hope is lost!

Edit: And the temps are below freezing for more than a day!! That’s just the perfect snowstorm!

But it is only one run...

Thanks orangeblood. Yes it is still early but I just wanted to see to prepare. Hopefully a good week of trends coming up.

Monster Westerly Wind burst. The last one with such magnitude in the month of Feb was likely 2015 that jumpstarted the Big Nino.

Daily SOI -19.02. Coupled with strong WWB with some lag time, sometime in the next 2-3 months I would probably forecast a flooding type event somewhere in Texas at some point.

Maybe I will just stay at Caddo Lake instead of coming back on Monday. The 12 inch zone is right on top of the lake!
