Texas Winter 2021-2022

[Haris]

HRRR showing some freezing rain lifting northward up I35 tomorrow morning. Also, FWD is highlighting some winter mix potential for portions of Eastern DFW tomorrow night into Saturday morning.

I think we all have model fatigue

Wet flakes tomorrow morning? Either way, a cold damp day on tap for Saturday

As I watched the temperature reach no higher than 45 yesterday here in Houston, I thought, "how could the weather be even more miserable"? Well, this morning it's 36 and raining. Perfect! At least the temps will slowly moderate upward after today, reaching the 80s in 10 days or so.

I do believe that we're not seeing any more Major Winter Storm systems after the ThunderSleet event, could see minor winter weather events through Mid-March & maybe April, but, this is it.

Have to agree with the heat miser here- nothing worse than cold rain in the mid-30s.

We've been very cold, cloudy, and windy here in SA with almost no precip though. Ready for springtime and thunderstorms (hopefully)- we need the rain.

And to think the Euro had you reaching a high of 77F yesterday from 48 hrs out/also had DFW with 0.40 inch precip ended up with 0.01 inch ….2 winters in a row of the worst model performances you’ll ever see, throw that model out with the garbage particularly during winter months. It is really really bad!

You should go outside and work all day in 90+ degree heat with dp’s in the 70’s and tell me how you feel about it after that.

Yeah, as I posted here on Monday, I did not buy the front stalling just to our north as per the GFS & Euro. Cold, dense air just doesn't stop moving south near Houston.

Sounds perfect to me! I love 90+ degree weather. When I was in college, I worked for a remodeling company in Fort Worth during the summers. Scraped and caulked a lot of houses and did some roofing in the summer heat. Here in Houston, I've gone on 5-hr bike rides in July. Would much prefer that over biking in temps below 60F. Heat never bothered me as a child, and it certainly doesn't bother me now. What I can't do is go outside and work in 50 degree weather all day. That would be torture.

I agree with the models - winter is over for Texas (freezing/frozen precip, anyway). Severe weather season is on the horizon.

Can we just have rain, skip the severe stuff, and go straight to Summer? I'll trade you a hot September into early October if you can not let us have severe weather...... Deal?

If memory serves correct, you also posted a couple of weeks ago that you believed winter was over for the most part and Brent would be chasing tornadoes.

He might have been…if it weren’t for those darn snow plows getting in the way.

Seeing freezing rain and sleet pop up on radars now around SCTX. Did this show on the models?

@RickMitchellWX — This morning's freeze at DFW was number 32 for this season, the most since 2014-15 when we had 39. This is above the normal of 29, but nowhere near the record of 62. #NBCDFWWeather

12z Hi-res models might justify winter wx advisories for parts of N & C Texas.

Yeah I think I only saw about 2 Hi-Res models showing any winter precip at all today or tomorrow. Don't think any globals showed this either.

We (Austin area) did have a few reports earlier this morning of patchy freezing drizzle which was a surprise. The moisture looks more plentiful to our east but there is some widely scattered stuff headed your way TropicalTundra. Temperatures here are around 32 degrees but a decent chunk of the county is still below freezing. Not sure we will hit the forecasted high of 40 today.

Oh, good. Just what I was looking forward to this weekend. More mid-30's and rain for Saturday/Saturday night.

If that’s the case it sounds to me like you have some bad blood flow. Going outside and busting your butt in 50 degree weather isn’t any issue at all. In fact, I usually have to strip down to just my t-shirt if I’m working outside with weather in the 50’s. If you’re actually working your blood gets flowing so it’s not bad at all. Much better than sweating your butt off and feeling sticky and disgusting all day from sweat and not to mention all the acne I get on my body from sweat. Gross!

Closing in on 60 hours below freezing at DFW. IIRC the early Feb storm only got us below freezing for ~36 hours.
