Texas Winter 2018-2019

One of the things to watch closely, is where does the high lat blocking setup? The Pacific evolution certainly favors split flow in the longer range but if we get a -EPO/+PNA then we will get stuck in the dreaded NW Flow and that is what the 00z GEFS is showing. Based on the Pacific, I think something like late Feb into early March '15 is in the cards but we need the ridging to setup with more of a relaxed PNA look. Also, we need the PVL to stay up in Canada, if it sets up shop farther south towards the GL then it will be very hard for systems to amp up as they come out of the SW. There are a lot of moving parts but I didn't really like the 00z GEFS look, dry cold sucks.

I'll take my chances with that set up any day....have to have Pacific energy come in from somewhere and through the Alaskan gates is ideal, cold enough S/W and if it digs we're in business

12z GEFS comes in more relaxed out west in the long range, multiple winter wx chances incoming?

Once the GEFS opens the gates, they might not close!

That is quite an impressive stretch. Looks like one front after another. More importantly this is starting to show up within the 10 day frame. Getting pumped!!!!

The snowpack north of us looks solid. Less modified air hopefully. St. Louis gets hammered on that map.

that's a beauty

Maybe all this waiting is gonna pay off

End of FV3 has 2 TX snow storms...we'll see, but it sure likes cold

We have a client near Chicago that is concerned about below-zero temps. On the same dates, the GFS has them at 28F while the FV3-GFS has them at -26F. Hmmm....

e14 puts 3+ ft over DFW if only...

The 12Z FV3 GFS dumps a motherload of cold south WITH precip. I know it's far out and will change, but I like the trend. Both Texas AND myself here in Louisiana get in on the fun.

Just looked over the latest Euro weeklies. For Texas in about a 5-week period from late January through February ... they look cold to very cold. Precip seems relatively close to normal for most places with a few weeks here and there of above/below.

CFSV2 Long Range is now on board the Arctic Train for the lower 48 as well (has been the slowest to catch on)...that makes 100% of all long-range guidance with below normal temps moving forward!!

That's the risk of having the coldest air so close! -50s in Canada on the FV3, GFS is a much milder -30s and -40s.

You just know suppression is on the minds of many. Nothing like snow on the coast and 25F and Sunny blue skies up north .

The end of the euro has lows around 20 in the metro

The ensembles have been very consistent about the Arctic dam (wxman wall) breaking. The operational runs will be inconsistent, as always, so take them with a grain of salt. The ensembles show that the rest of winter could be brutally cold.

Yeah, I don't think most realize that seeing those type cold anomalies in Canada DURING the coldest time of year is close to extreme as you get!!!

Unlike the past 2 years we have a good subtropical jet and split flow. My bet is that it won't be cold and dry. We'll likely have multiple disturbances to go about it. This passing SSW is the real deal. We haven't seen one dump cold on our side of the world in awhile.

[TheProfessor]

It's looking like I will get 3-6" of snow tomorrow. If we hit the high end of 6" it will be the biggest snowfall I've had in Columbus. Now I know all of yall are starving for snow, but man the fact I haven't had a storm drop 6+"(and there's only been 3 storms to drop 4-5") of snow the last 4 years annoys me a bit lol. Crossing my fingers we all get what we want this winter lol.

that would be perfect for me :p I can go visit my mom

GEFS 12z. Plenty of cold air descending on North America. All the way to Panama.
