Texas Winter 2025-2026

[wxman22]

The last cold core snow setups up here were January 2023 and February 2024.Elevation plays a a factor when it comes to borderline cold core setups.

More posts up here about how winter is coming

Sure

Oh and last time we had cold cores we had our infamous snow holes both times! It sucked

on a more serious note, maybe even if we dont get super cold, we could still have other opportunities for some fun if we can get a couple of cold core lows to dig down into the state, not impossible even in warmer winters,

What happened when cool days, maybe near 50F the day before in full sun is followed by snow because of very low dewpoints and an upper level low passing.

We have not had success with this in a long time. Warming climo isn't helping the borderline ULL events, DFW success in those are now more likely in Oklahoma comparatively. It will take something extremely anomalous. H5 temps have been on the rise slowly.

Ntxw, if the mjo stays active and moves, the Pacific should align to match and give us a few opportunities at cold and wintry weather imo.

CMC is much colder around new years eve, cold air gets dislodged, bit of a + PNA , but still rather chilly for texas

I had to watch the early 2000s Snow Day movie to get my snow fix. It was a favorite of mine. I hope we get some cold. Lol.

Holy cow!!! The ensembles are starting to look really interesting around new years ever across texas ( GEFS/ GEPS )

Lol I saw a TV forecast of 72 yesterday up here for New Years Day and the 0z Euro has a high of 32

Even has a hint of precip it appears

I think we just need to relax and enjoy the holidays if things can change that quickly

I'm pretty sure we'll get cold at some point like it's only December. Even our warmest winters have. Snow is never guaranteed of course even up here

Because it's going to be so warm the next few days any cold that we do get will melt anything on impact because the ground is so warm it won't stick.
