Texas Winter 2013-2014

[Lagreeneyes03]

Wxman would you please do a meteo for DFW on the new GFS run? I need some good news (warmth!!!)

[TheProfessor]

that's only good news if their is rain and thunderstorms with that warmth.

[Lagreeneyes03]

I'll take either. I have a closet full of spring clothes that need to be worn. I'm over this cold and no snow.

The 144 hour EURO run shows a rather potent 998 mb Low emerging into the Southern Plains. This is within a week away, but something for you all out in Texas to keep an eye on, especially with the potential of severe weather from this system is this run comes close to verifying.

From the DFW NWS:

WITH SNOW FLURRIES ON MONDAY...DFW AIRPORT RECORDED ITS 14TH CALENDAR
DAY WITH WINTRY PRECIPITATION THIS SEASON. THIS IS THE MOST IN ANY
SEASON SINCE 1978-1979 (WHEN THERE WERE 17 DAYS).

AT WACO...THERE HAVE BEEN 10 DAYS WITH WINTRY PRECIPITATION. THIS IS
THE MOST SINCE 1987-1988 (WHEN THERE WERE 11 DAYS).

NOTE: THESE DATA INCLUDE ALL OCCURRENCES OF WINTRY PRECIPITATION...
SNOW AND SLEET AS WELL AS FREEZING RAIN AND FREEZING DRIZZLE. A
SEASON FOR SNOWFALL (AND OTHER WINTRY PRECIPITATION)...FREEZES...AND
HEATING DEGREE DAYS IS THE 12-MONTH PERIOD FROM JULY 1 TO JUNE 30 OF
THE FOLLOWING YEAR.

I believe the bolded part also answers gpsnowman's question on the previous page.

Another question. The freeze numbers, are they for just the DJF period or are the numbers from the start of winter to the end? We had freezes in November and obviously some to start March. Just didn't know if those were included in the overall totals. Thanks.

Does this mean Ntxw owes me two steaks now?????
(one being from a previous year)

It's coming, just slowly.

This is a forum where we celebrate the cold weather of winter. There won't be any of that warming up talk around here! 12Z Euro is in now. It's still indicating 850mb temperature anomalies 2-4C below normal this Sunday and a big cool-down next Wednesday with anomalies 11-13C below normal. It even indicates a large area of 2-6" of snow across central Oklahoma on Sunday. No snow predicted across OK or TX with the bigger shot of cold air next Wednesday, but the models don't handle these systems out that far very well. Perhaps we'll see another ice/snow storm across Texas next week!

[Ntxw]

strong westerlies aided by typhoon faxai, highly amplified event could occur next week over the US controlled by +PNA and stj. There is merit to northjaxpro's post.

For this, I must protest. I must wonder, as I look outside, is my life upside down? I must ask, am I drunk? I must ponder, well how did I get here? I have no idea what the heck is going on. I must admit, I have totally lost my mind. Thank you Wxman 57. I am officially checking into the looney bin. Give my regards to the Gulf Freeway. Thanks.

[Texas Snowman]

We need one more event to get us beyond 500 pages!

[TheProfessor]

yeah, but I want it to be a state wide snow event, not ice or sleet.Let's try to get 6 inches for Austin, DFW, Houston, and San Antonio!

Are you thinking just northern Texas for next week? If not, how far south?

[dhweather]

Man, the GFS for 2609 hours doesn't have a cat 5 in the gulf.


What a lousy model

[dhweather]

The 12Z euro has a system starting up just east of here, really wrapping up and becoming a monster up the east coast. We'd probably get another freeze on the backside of it, but that's about it. <.25 QPF for the entire run for most of Texas.

[TheProfessor]

maybe the model is a bit slow with the development of the storm.

[KeriCarter]

Just hoping for rain but come upon this.

Now I understand why you were trying to scare me off turning my fans on!

Oh and I do think you will be honest .... did Ntxw get his snow in Dallas?

He seems to be ignoring me lately......

[TheProfessor]

I'm surprised no one is talking about the band of storms moving towards parts of the metroplex.

I'm in too much of a blissful state this winter thanks to all your cold to notice! Just kidding! Good work and no I haven't had my good snow yet. I've seen it all though perhaps you can work us up one more piece of magic? Bevo says pretty please . I probably should pay the Canadian thread a visit, haven't been in there since I brought you guys the petition wxman57 put early in the winter on your inability to control your cold air.
