Re: Texas Winter 2022-2023
I have nothing backing it, but I don’t think, especially in areas up here that we will go above freezing for those couple of days. When has strong fronts not come in colder, faster and stronger than forecasted? The past winters which have all been La Niña winters, the forecasted highs and highs shown on models have all been way too warm with these type of fronts. The lows have also usually been quite a bit lower.

It's going to be either they're right, or they will be in for a nasty surprise, NWS-Norman has taken note of the CMC and RGEM models though.

Next week: Most of North Texas will see just a cold rain. Areas mainly northwest of the metroplex could see some freezing rain Tuesday and Wednesday morning. This could lead to slick roads in those areas before temps go above freezing during the afternoon. #wfaaweather

Re: Texas Winter 2022-2023
After looking at things a bit, if I was going to draw up a freezing rain/sleet setup for Texas, then I would have a much deeper positive tilted Western Trough. We get a s/w cutoff in the SW, but it isn't really sufficient to pull down a large batch of shallow cold air. The vast majority of the cold (even shallow) appears to get pulled eastward with the TPV. You see a better H5 connection to the SW s/w on the CMC vs. the GFS/Euro, which allows for more cold air to spill down the front range. Even shallow cold air needs a delivery mechanism.

Yeah pretty crazy that he is coming with that this early in the game. DFW has a real chance to get absolutely hammered.

0z NAM takes us below freezing and goes below 30F for much of NTX, closer the CMC.
Said it earlier and will say it again. Set ups like these the models will throw pots and pans, and the kitchen sink to keep cold held up at the surface with flow a loft. Ends up beat many times. Weight and rising heights can win.

I didn’t even consider freezing drizzle/rain an option down here … but sheesh … that 0z NAM has my attention.
NAM is hard to beat on temps when it comes to shallow Arctic air masses.

0z RGEM is wetter than its prior run. C-TX would be in play. Shallow Arctic air masses are a fickle. They come in hard and tough to erode. They have tendency to be less influenced by pressure patterns above sitting low to the surface, unlike deeper cold that comes and goes quick like back in December!

0z Icon has a lot of qpf. DFW is very close to freezing while north and west are. This reminds me of the early February event last year that had good moisture with it.

For roadway travel, this is the worst combo IMO….Long duration spotty Light rain and drizzle in the upper 20s. A la 1st event in Feb 2021

Only thing that may save this could be heavier precip bringing 40F plus 850 temps down with it, warming surface temps. FW NWS office mentioned this last night

It may eventually! 0z CMC says oh yeah? QPF mid 20s.

Re: Texas Winter 2022-2023
Yeah I think we've established the fact that short range guidance (NAM, ARW, HRRR etc) handles these shallow arctic setups better this far south than the globals op's ever have (GFS/Euro) as mentioned the other day. Now the question becomes how far south does the freezing line make it into TX. NAM 3km at 60 hours was a few degrees colder than 12km and so that may make all the difference should that trend continue as to the depth of this frozen precip impact into TX.
But hey credit to the CMC because it's been locked on for several days now. Might end up being a little too cold/overdone on ice (hopefully) but overall, not bad for a change.

I could definitely see central Texas being in play here. Austin area better watch out!
