From this morning's discussion out of NWS Corpus Christi:
SHOULD ALSO NOTE THE ECM IS EVEN MORE AGGRESSIVE
SHOWING THE ARCTIC HIGH DIVING DUE SOUTH INTO TEXAS BRINGING SOME OF
THE COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON W/ THE POSSIBILITY OF WINTRY PRECIP AS
FAR SOUTH AS CEN TX AS THE SRN STREAM S/WV MOVES TOWARDS THE AREA.
STAY TUNED AS FUTURE MODEL RUNS HOPEFULLY CLEARIFY.
From this morning's discission out of Norman, OK:
LATEST
GFS SCENARIO IS MUCH MORE IN LINE WITH ECMWF/UKMET RUNS FROM EARLIER
IN THE WEEK...AS WAS DISCUSSED HERE ON WED. BUT ECMWF HAS CONTINUED
A TREND OF BRINGING IN THE CANADIAN AIR EVEN STRONGER INTO THE S
PLAINS BY TUE...AND PRESENTS AN OMINOUS PICTURE INCLUDING POTENTIAL
FOR A SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM TUE-WED POSSIBLY AS FAR S AS N AND W
TX.
As for Bastardi, I don't want to cut and paste out of his pay-per-view column, but he basically said that Texas would see an "old fashioned snow and ice event" next week and that the coldest air out of Canada will no longer be heading directly for the NE, but will come down west of the Great Lakes and focus on the Southern Plains.
He said that if the northern and southern streams do not phase next week, the chances for several winter weather events for those of us in the Southland are significant.
