Re: Texas Fall-2015
This is timely considering how cold it has been here in Austin since last week. We have not had a surface temperature above 50 since early Friday afternoon. When folks see the projections for El Nino patterns with the below normal temps/above normal precip in this area they often assume it means snow down here. Nope ... this is kinda classic El Nino weather for Austin. The Ninos I've experienced in my 31 1/2 years here are often like this. Cold, dreary, and damp.
Looking forward to seeing ol' Sol on Wednesday.

Exactly. Often it is below normal simply because of all the cloud cover and precip. That keeps temps down. So "cold" and wet is all relative.

Re: Texas Fall-2015
TEMPERATURES THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WILL REACH THE 50S EACH DAY
WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS MAINLY IN THE 30S AND LOWER 40S. NEAR
FREEZING TEMPERATURES CAN BE EXPECTED IN OUR NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES
TONIGHT AND TUESDAY NIGHT. A REINFORCING SHOT OF COOL AIR WILL
ARRIVE ON WEDNESDAY AS ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVES ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS. DAYTIME TEMPERATURES WILL NOT CHANGE MUCH WITH
THIS FRONT BUT OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE COOLER WEDNESDAY NIGHT
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRIER AIR...CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS.
MUCH OF NORTH AND CENTRAL TEXAS IS EXPECTED TO BE NEAR FREEZING IN
THE LOWER 30S WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY MORNING.
It was an awesome Thanksgiving Weekend, temps never getting above 40, rain, rain, ho, and more rain. I had the fireplace going non stop Friday thru sunday. Had no place to be, all shopping done online, no in-laws, and plenty of food to eat.....yes it was a wonderful weekend!!

Yeah, high's don't look like anything torchy around here, near to maybe a degree or two above average. The lows will be what keeps things milder, not many freezes but this is expected with such a strong STJ. Not a lot of radiational cooling.
Now if you were in Canada and adjacent northern US in the 40s and 50s where it could be near 0 and teens that's quite a departure.

FYI, the recent rain has caused lake levels to surge again.
Lavon is 9.5 feet above normal, Ray Roberts is 5.2 feet high and Texoma is 3.46 feet high.

Maybe I'm just being unobservant, but I'm having a hard time finding the new winter thread.
*EDIT: it's in the winter forum. Derp.

Texas has generally been between an eastern ridge and a western trough this fall and early winter, keeping an active storm track over the area. Not every system has been capable of producing tornadoes, but we've been having enough systems to where tornadoes have been somewhat common.
