Texas Winter 2016-2017

[Ntxw]

Its all relative of course! 75 in summer, spring, or fall we all boast how wonderfully refreshing it feels. 75 in winter and its a darned uncomfortable heat wave

But I agree on humidity, it can be a deal breaker

Not sure if it is showing up in the models.. but a nice little northerly speed max and perhaps another shortwave developing just south of Alaska. I find it intriguing for some reason hehehe.

Hey now none of that! You're going to give us a false sense of hope with northerly kickers. We get enough heat from wxman57 with the teasers with a caveat

It's supposed to go out into the open waters of the NE Pacific is it not?

I grew up in Alabama so the summers don't really bother me that much... if anything the drier air that's usually here is definitely a different kind of air(I wouldn't say better but I do see it as slightly more bearable)... the positive to the humidity in Alabama though was most days you'd have a chance of a thunderstorm which were always awesome(of course it usually felt like a sauna afterwards). It's just boringly hot here for weeks on end usually. Now the last 2 summers(both that I've been here ironically) with the rain cooled air in August was a rare treat.

Like I said earlier, what gets me about here is the heat outside of the summer. That's why I get so annoyed by record highs in October/November/December... this is the cold people's time...

2013 and 2014 had unusually cool July's. 70s and low 80s for a couple days and rain. We haven't had a truly "hot" summer since 2012, with 100 days over 30 or more. It's been the extended summers into fall that's been bad.

All this summer talk is bait for the heat miser. Lets talk about Feb!

Currently 28 with a windchill of 14. Looks like they have changed the forecast again to a 30% chance of snow tonight and a 60% transitioning to a 30% chance tomorrow.

Ken on KAUZ was talking about a southern shift and Wichita Falls potentially getting a little more than originally thought. Let's hope this is a trend Yukon!

lol not sure.. I use simuawips.. ever heard of it? I have not looked at the models much today... I just noticed it.

21z SREF seems to be picking up on a nice trend. I like to use a blend of DFW and PRX for MBY. The trend at DFW and the 21z PRX plume are encouraging:

I'd like to see that dig 100 miles south - -removed- as the satellite doesn't appear to bear that out.

I grew up in San Antonio and lived in Houston until 7/2013 so I was spoiled my first couple of winters here. At least I saw flakes last winter...

Nobody knows freezing drizzle like we do here in the ATX. So the big question is ... will it happen?! Will the lower levels of the airmass be too dry or not. Temps will likely be cold enough for surface freezing.

Looks pretty close to what FWD put out. I would move the Trace to 0.50" line down b/w McKinney and Dallas but I'm not on the line for the forecast!

[bubba hotep]

Not seeing any big changes at this point

HRRR is now getting into range

[vbhoutex]

Yep March 4-5, 2015... best snowstorm I had seen in years.

I haven't even personally seen flakes since..

What kind of cheese would you like with that whine? We haven't seen any accumulation in Houston since 2004 and that was actually mostly to the South of the metro area. Might get a sleet pellet or two out of this one, but I doubt it.

I know I shouldn't complain but it's just frustrating to keep living in areas where getting snow is like pulling teeth lol

LOL!! I hear you!! Watertown, NY beckons!!

[jasons2k]

Drizzle here is picking up in The Woodlands area.

I am just getting home on a night I planned to be following this all evening. This is the first positive thing tonight I have seen so far to at least SEE some snow fall. Thanks for posting. I was going to jump into other HiRes models but I think I'll take this and go to sleep so I can wake up earlier and see if there is any new fun to be had. I like this one b/c it's right when the kids get out of school. Nothing worse than being in school while it's snowing and getting out and it's all gone.

well any snow would beat last winter to me
