When I was training for biathlons in the late 1980s, I loved to run in mid-afternoon during the heat of the day in the summer. Running in cool weather always made my lungs hurt as a kid (seemed like that's what it was, anyway). The only running I do in cold weather is from the grocery store to my car. I'm looking forward to a return of 80+ temps by Wednesday. That's warm enough to bike in shorts and a short-sleeve jersey. This week's Pacific front should struggle to make it to the coast, keeping temps warm. Probably another surge of cold air early next week but it won't last long.

They also favor a cool to cold Fall across much of the US.

With the daily and 30 SOI negative it will be a far cry from what happened one year ago. We'll have cool periods broken up by periods of rainfall. I do think late April and May we'll see the more typical very wet Nino like Spring pattern. Full basin Nino likely later this year.

FYI DFW hit 32F this morning.

Snow reports (dusting to just under half an inch) yesterday morning made it as far east as Ingram (Kerr County) and Vanderpool (Bandera County) per AUS/SAT NWS. While models definitely were more bullish on accumulation last week, seeing snow fall and even accumulate in some areas just NW of SA was awesome for Mid-March.

Good news for the SA metro is we tallied up more beneficial rain with some parts of the city receiving almost 2 inches in total from the post frontal showers/storms late Thursday night along with the disturbance Friday evening into early Saturday morning. Keep it coming! Pattern remains active this week.

12Z Euro dropped next Sunday night/Monday morning's cold front. Like to see that. Winter officially ends tomorrow! Always great to say goodbye to winter.

When I lived in West Texas I taught in Fort Stockton, and we had some teachers who lived in Alpine. That was snow city.

Ntxw seems confident about a return to wet weather soon. I’m not there yet, personally.

Only 4 1/2 more hours until winter is officially over! Hurray! Bring on the heat! Models continue to back off on next week's Canadian cold front. GFS tries to push one through TX on April 1st, but I'm hoping it's just an April Fool's joke. Not a particularly dry pattern, nor is it particularly wet. Just some occasional rain, it appears.

Oh I don't think we'll see anything considered heavy in terms of qpf yet! Just that it won't be long stretches of dry and hot. While the SOI is negative, I wouldn't say it has tanked.

Pacific rising motion will appear in April sometime and I think that will be the time CFSv2 and weeklies point to much above normal precipitation.

Today's Euro Weeklies run is backing up Ntxw's prediction of a wet April. Bring it on!

Day 3 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0224 AM CDT Tue Mar 21 2023

Valid 231200Z - 241200Z

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM TEXAS HILL
COUNTRY ACROSS NORTHWEST/NORTH-CENTRAL TEXAS INTO SOUTHEAST
OKLAHOMA...

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms capable of hail, some very large, and damaging gusts
are possible Thursday afternoon through Friday morning across the
southern Plains.

...Synopsis...
The upper pattern early Thursday is forecast to consist of a western
CONUS trough and subtropical ridging centered over the Gulf of
Mexico. Enhanced mid-level westerly/southwesterly flow will persist
between these two features, extending from northern Mexico into the
Great Lakes region. A pair of shortwave troughs will be embedded
within the belt of stronger flow, one initially near the Mid MO
Valley and the other across southern AZ/northern Mexico. Both
shortwaves are expected to progress northeastward, with the second
shortwave moving through the southern High Plains during the
afternoon/evening, reaching KS/OK by early Friday morning.

The surface pattern Thursday morning will likely feature a low over
southern MI, with a cold front extending southwestward to another
low over northwest TX. The northern portion of the cold front will
remain progressive, moving eastward across the OH Valley. The
southern portion of the front (from northwest TX across OK) will
only make modest eastward/southeastward progress throughout the day,
as another low develops over west TX. This second low is then
expected to push northeastward along the front from Thursday evening
into Friday, moving from the Permian Basin into southeast OK. At it
does, an associated dryline will move eastward across southwest and
central TX.

...Southern Plains...
Low to mid 60s dewpoints are expected be in place along the front
early Thursday morning, likely increasing into the mid/upper 60s by
the late afternoon. This increasing low-level moisture coupled with
modest daytime heating should destabilize the airmass south of the
front by the late afternoon. Consequently, convergence along the
front is expected to result in thunderstorm development, likely
beginning over OK. Vertical shear will be strong, and the initial
more cellular development may produce hail. However, the slow-moving
front combined with the front-parallel orientation of the deep-layer
vertical shear suggests numerous storms and messy storm mode. This
could limit the overall severe potential across much of OK.

Farther south, thunderstorm development is anticipated ahead of the
deepening surface low expected to move into northwest TX during the
late afternoon/early evening. A more cross-boundary vertical shear
vector is anticipated here, supporting a greater potential for
supercells for at least a few hours. Very large hail is possible
with these storms as well as damaging gusts. As the low and
associated front continue eastward, storm coverage should increase
southward across the TX Hill Country/Edwards Plateau. Hail and
damaging gusts are possible with this line of storms as it moves
eastward toward the I-35 corridor early Friday morning.

I've really enjoyed the cool weather the past few days but I haven't been paying much attention to the weather lately so I had no clue about any rain chances today. Of course yesterday I spent good money on a detailed car wash. Oh well, it's not the first time and at least the East Texas pollen is off my car.
