Re: Texas Fall 2018
Alright, my wedding is on the 17th, time to start looking at some long range outlooks! It’s going to be outside as of now. I’ll take snow, ice, and just about anything else other than a cold rain.

Re: Texas Fall 2018
The FV3 shows a huge front in a little over a week but the GFS just has a few weak fronts. I wonder which one is right?

Re: Texas Fall 2018
Tropical forcing is starting to tip the hand of forcing things colder by mid-Nov? By colder, I mean much colder.

Re: Texas Fall 2018
I'm in Durant Oklahoma and in legitimately getting excited for the possibility of a snow storm next weekend and the following week. This is a welcome change that winter model watching has already begun for a while now it's been until late December . Anyway cross my fingers bring on the winter wx!

the GFS has shown it on and off
I'm definitely intrigued in the timeframe starting around November 11-12th, the ensembles show a colder airmass too its just how cold? I really really want an early winter storm this year...

Re: Texas Fall 2018
next weekend on the 0z GFS(November 10-11) has potential, snow in Oklahoma and parts of DFW near freezing after the precip ends
Pretty unsettled pattern in general
FV GFS has a big front earlier on Thursday/Friday next week

Re: Texas Fall 2018
Are we already starting the predictable pattern of some wintry precip in the long range, only to be lost in the mid-range, then possibly come back in the short?

Yes! On cue since snow season in TX is technically November to March

Really though the ensembles have hinted at some cold weather for some time now for early-mid month. First widespread 30s to come. Snow...well it technically can happen, but it likely won't, yet.
It has happened before in non-super El Ninos. Most recently 2014. Austin's greatest singular snowfall record occured in November 11, 1937 that still stands today over 9"!

Re: Texas Fall 2018
Got down to 40 at my house this morning.
Yep, a bit of snow I think up to an inch or so in spots followed by teens the next morning. That was a recurving typhoon induced --EPO NW flow event from what I remember.

Re: Texas Fall 2018
I'm just gonna say right now models are locking in on a cold air intrusion over the next couple weeks with at least two chances of snow in our area, I am starting to buy the idea, and I don't think this winter is going to disappoint, let the model watching begin, I hope by mid month we are building snow men with our kids.
God bless
Also to note the Fv3 locked in on this pattern first which I find very interesting

Re: Texas Fall 2018
Wow, that 12z GFS is something for next week. Just miss out here in Ohio. This is kind of the first run it showed a snow storm for the Midwest. I'm crossing my fingers for a birthday miracle where the solution shifts a bit south and east and then amplifies(I can dream right), leaving me out of the WAA of course lol. Would also make it interesting for yall as well.

Huge model flipping in the mid-range right now. Does the Euro flip back to not Meh at 12z?

This is precisely why I emphasized to pay closer attention to the Ensembles earlier posts which advertised a pseudo -NAO and Pacific blocking. We should give the OP models some time to zone in on it.
Pretty decent confidence a cold snap of some sort is on the way.
