The pirate has passed.

RIP Mike Leach

Sad day for a lot of folks, for sure.

There’s actually a video from years ago of Coach Leach doing a TV weather cast. He was one of a kind…

I'm coming out of lurk mode to post snippet of an email from Jeff Lindner. Man, horrible and sad news about Mike Leach. Guy was one-of-a-kind.

Next Week:
Almost all of the focus will be with a potential major arctic air intrusion into the US starting early next week. Upper air pattern will result in a building Alaskan ridge which will help to dislodge extremely cold Siberian air (currently -55 to -75F) and send this air mass over the Arctic Ocean and in the general direction of NW Canada. As this air mass moves into NW Canada an impressive 1055-1070mb arctic surface high pressure dome forms and begins to drop southward toward the Montana border early next week. Extremely cold air is dislodged and begins to move southward with widespread -40 to -50 F into SW Canada and approaching the US border. Upper air pattern then supports this air mass being unleashed into the US early to mid next week. IF model solutions are correct and a 1060-1065mb high is located near the Montana border early next week, there will be little to stop the incredibly dense air mass from pouring southward down the plains.

Since we are still talking in the day 7-9 range for any impacts in the southern plains, will follow the ensemble mean of the GFS, CMC, and ECWMF which all show below to well below normal temperatures starting as early as the 22nd and lasting through the 26/27th. I strongly caution against individual model runs showing various winter storm events as there has been little consistency from run to run and between the different models.

The biggest questions at this point is how cold of an air mass builds into NW Canada this weekend, how much of this cold air comes as far south as TX, does this air mass modify any as it moves southward, will there be any winter precipitation next week. The answers to these questions will reveal themselves over the next few days. My advice at this point is to closely monitor forecasts for next week and be prepared to take cold weather protective actions if that need becomes a reality.

Unsure, numerous buildings affected in that area.

Yikes! This looks fairly big. Taken near the Fort Worth naval air station.

How did no one notice the 1072 mb HP over Idaho on the 6z GFS?

[rwfromkansas]

Wow, crazy morning. Did NOT expect this. I thought the severe risk was well east of DFW today. I have not even been paying attention to it since it didn't impact MBY I thought.

This is the first time in my 7 years here they went into severe weather shelter in classes. I had a good 70 kids in my room. Lol.

My nephew from Kansas is stuck at DFW Airport also.

Sir, I am hearing reports of your jet being parked near the runway ( in the back of Hobby) for a take off when you give the pilot the green light. Can you confirm this?
