There is a Winter Storm Watch for *double checking to make sure I'm reading this right* Hawaii right now, the weather is seriously messed up!
Now it's a Blizzard Warning for Hawaii!

The cold front for Monday is coming in a little cooler. Might have a couple days in the 50's. I need some cold air to get into the Christmas mood!!! It's difficult to think about Christmas when it is 80 degrees. Yuck.

Of course, that's for the summits on the Big Island, where people do go skiing. My coworker just started his 1 week vacation there yesterday. He's on Oahu, though. Temps above 80 near sea level but quite cold atop Mauna Kea.

The hope is with a very cold source region any intrusions might have a good punch to it!

Looks like one day (Tuesday) with lows in the mid 40s there in DFW next week. Both the GFS & Euro are predicting lows near freezing up there next Sunday. GFS keeps trying to forecast snow in the TX Panhandle and OK. Euro says "not so fast, the snow will be confined to Kansas". GFS will lose again. Meanwhile, we'll enjoy the pleasant but a little chilly highs near 80 here in Houston through the weekend.

I'm expecting Highs near 80 as well, it's hot for this time of year

Re: Texas Winter 2021-2022
Let me preface this by saying the GFS has had a huge tendency to be wrong over the last month or so. I concede that.
However, the GFS does have 2 runs in a row with a pretty decent snowstorm less than 10 days out, with the 6z run inching ever so close towards DFW. Not to mention the CMC and the Euro have snow in Kansas/Northern OK at that same weekend. Runs are certainly not as bleak as they were a few days ago.

I was about to take note of that! Lol
Either way, I've placed Saturday to Monday (12.11.2021-12.13.2021) as a possible time for snow for Oklahoma due to increasing model consistency of snow in that time period.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that some 12z GEFS members want snow for Oklahoma 3-5 days out.

I can buy some stock into. IF a couple things remain in place.
1. Trough needs to remain intact. The guidance has been trending stronger with it the past few runs.
2. It is able to tap into surface cold from the North with a good surface high.
It's definitely a little intriguing. Aleutian wave-break ridge certainly does merit some deepening of systems. But that's what we're relying on, the storm to provide.

This is the Make-or-break for snow for Mid-December for the Southern Plains.

There are two years I've been looking at. 1984 December where the Aleutian ridge/+AO started the same but the western trough pinched and we torched the rest of the month. However in January a big Aleutian trof set off a massive SSW to bring the Jan-Feb 1985 cold outbreak.
Last night I made a post about December 1990, if we take that path then by mid month the cold decides to spill due to its power and -PNA trough from the west.

Totally agree. Your first bullet point has been the big issue the GFS has been struggling with. More than 7 days out, it’s been overestimating the power of those troughs. The majority of the troughs up to this point have fizzled out before they could reach TX or been weak shortwaves at best. This could be the first one that really sustains itself well with moisture potential.

@BigJoeBastardi — Now here is something that is interesting. Vortex split at 50mb Dec 7 very close to Dec 27 1984,1985. Severe eastern outbreaks mid and late Jan both years ( 1st one was Reagan inaug outbreak, second Challenger disaster Current one would be early Jan correlation.”

Re: Texas Winter 2021-2022
Anyone who has Pivotal Weather Plus can see the 6z & 18z Euro model.
12z Euro is showing snow across Kansas & Missouri, & as far south as Northern Oklahoma.

I don't have Pivotal Weather Plus, but I've heard that it contains +3 Hour data to +144 Hours.
