McCauley is almost always the met that will go out on a limb showing extended models and what might happen. It was odd to see him say this tonight.


I like McCauley since he will show what extended models suggest, but sometimes, even I wonder if he's looking for the National Enquirer effect of "biggest, baddest, boldest" prediction, the one that gets the most notice in the crowded D/FW TV met competition.

He also went as far to mention the McFarland Signature during the middle of the summer. It was a pattern that was set just like it only it was dead of summer. I wonder if he posts and or reads on here?

Sure is great to see all the activity, this is what winter is really about! Haven't seen such onlookers since last Feb during the southern snowstorm :wink:

I know we've pretty much given up on this weekend's storm, but there are still a few ensemble members suggesting a surprise. We are still well beyond the realm of surety so I would keep that in the back of our minds.

Welcome to S2k, Metalicwx220. Past history does have snow events into Monterrey and further S.

I'm looking forward to this cold weather coming soon! This winter hasn't been cold enough. :(

Last month, Longview had an average temperature of 48.9, which is just .1 below average.

Not liking the 18z and 0z much. Hope this trend doesn't last long.

I'm sure ok with the 0z. Since it isn't as strong with the weekend's system, maybe there's more energy leftover for the actual cold air passage to work with, hints with post frontal precip shown. Look at the big high in NW Canada :eek: 1060mb

It's just not pushing and looking as well as it was. I just hope it's not a hint that it might be weaker. I knew things would go kind of back and forth a little. I'm like Taylor Swift I've got my heart broken a lot.

Though as it goes on it's looking a little bit better.

I see what you mean.

Well Fox 4 Dan Henry thinks cold is on the way.

Steve McCauley on Ch. 8 is certain it will not be record setting by any means.

It's diving straight into the Rio Grande. Another cold run by the GFS. Not the record cold shown last night's 0z but a long duration of brutal cold nonetheless!

Well it's not as warm or short as the 18z run and still shows a strong strong high. So that is good. I still liked the last 0z run and last 12z run better, though.


I will take back my first comment tonight. This run is not bad at all.

1032mb into the Arklatex region. That's very impressive. At the end of the run yet more HP is building up in NW Canada, perhaps yet another pouring hinted. Again, the record colds don't come in one strike, they come in waves.

The GFS has been very very consistent of late and I think tonights GFS run is the most impressive of them all. It shows the DFW area not reaching above the freezing mark from the 13th through the 20th, along with several impulses moving through.
