No context......


I think it's the very end of the GFS on Thanksgiving Day but yeah you're right

It's gonna be a long winter :lol:

To be fair though people have been talking about a pattern change in here for days around thanksgiving. It lines up

Watch for the severe weather threat before the cold follows. Doesn't always work out that way in the southern plains of course but it can definitely be a signal for the shift in the pattern that sets up cold across the source region that can deliver it south.

Yes, I’m in Dallas proper and see a faint but distinct, pink glow to the north.

Yep I went outside and held my phone very still and took pictures to the North and to the South, and there's definitely red in the sky looking North. Amazing.

I even took a picture to the South and sure enough it was dark with no color.

Take a picture with your phone hold it still. I could barely see a faint red, but when I took a photo it really lit it up.

Snow in Texas, 8th wonder of the World

Don't use my posts as forecast; I'm not a licensed meteorologist! I just endorse cold weather, alright?

All observations I note are for Temple, Texas unless otherwise stated.

Mid next week may feature a strong storm system with multiple rounds of rain.The EURO AI has been locked in on this system for several days now I always pay attention when that model locks on to storms. Not set in stone yet though.

With such a slow moving system to the SW, warmth, moisture/dews, and mugginess will surge ahead of it. A frontal boundary will set focus along and ahead of it next week for a band of heavy rain. Where that sets up is TBD but I wouldn't be surprised if it included flood watches. Quite moist for time of year.

Wow, my sister said this was the first time she saw the northern lights with her eyes in Kansas. Very strong storm. Wish I was up there for this.

GFS ensembles a little less pessimistic about the op the next week but even they show less than half an inch locally. EDIT- locally being the Houston Metro

A little clearer now that around Thanksgiving and the period right after will feature big blocking over Alaska and Hudson Bay/Davis straits. It's as good as it gets, for winter lovers. We've seen glimpses from long range OP guidance that should only increase in the days and weeks ahead.

I think you may be onto something here. Definitely looks like a possible severe weather outbreak next week as of right now.

As long as our plane takes off Wednesday afternoon for vacation, the weather can get as big as it wants while I’m gone.

Yeah I dunno about cold air anytime soon(I mean really mid 80s on Saturday??? People thought we were done with that :lol: ) but with this warmth severe weather is definitely gonna be on the table sooner or later

I bet it's December before we really flip the pattern to cold
