Major differences between the NAM and GFS with the frontal passage. The NAM has the freeze line almost to the I-59 corridor by Sunday evening.While at the same time the GFS has temps in the 50's and 60's.This is because the GFS stalls the front, we've seen the GFS do this time and time again with s...

Two interesting things: 1. As mentioned before (and confirmed via weather.us), the EURO is actually the highest resolution (~9KM) of the globals, beating out ICON (~13km), and even two nests of NAM (~12 and 32km). Even the EPS ensembles run at ~14km, on par with 12km NAM nest and ICON. So, if resolu...

Just to clarify, the previous ICON runs (the 00z and yesterday's 12z) were well below freezing highs for SE Texas all of Monday and Tuesday (highs only in the 20s), with ultimate lows deep into the teens across SE Texas/SW Louisiana. It was even showing sub-freezing highs and low 20s down to Lower R...

By the way, the image below shows what the GFS was spitting out about a week prior to the Feb 21' freeze: https://www.palmtalk.org/forum/uploads/monthly_2021_02/GFS02102021.PNG.90fca133c12a405f0d189b0a6ef4e597.PNG Literal single-digts, even negatives (!!!) well down to the shorelines of SE Texas/SW ...

We'll see how things go regarding whether or not the ice and/or snow stick. Regardless of that, the 12zGFS actually features quite milder temps compared to the previous two runs. Even the "notoriously good at handling shallow airmasses" ICON came in quite milder on this latest 12z compared...

At this point I just need some more buckets because my Tii, Bird of Paradise, etc. collection is larger now. I pop them out of the ground and keep them in the garage in buckets. Some stuff like the red cloaks are too big and will just have to grow back. It's pointless. Everything will be decimated ...

Yeah, I love rain and storms! If we’re not gonna have wintry weather then at least let us have rain and storms! I would like to have honest to goodness summer washouts again — the summers of the aughts were very good with those across the Houston area, you can see notable contrast compared with 201...

I live out in the country away from concrete. I had 25” from Harvey here and still wasn’t even close to flooding. I’m sure if it would’ve came all at once instead of over a 3-4 day period then it would’ve been a different story though. I’d honestly love a good 10-15” of rain over one or two days th...

The winter of 1930-1931 did not have freezing temperature. January 1930 had a low of 5°F. 1931 did not see freezing temperature. March 1932 had freezing temperatures and it snowed. 1931 and 2023 are years without freezing temperature recorded. Of course, data from the past should be taken with caut...

I see 2 freezes for me and looking forward to a lot more in late January! They are coming. No doubt about that. That's why I compromise regarding a Dec 2008-type event — I was in first year in middle school then, but I remember the uncertainty regarding forecasts during the day, only for the "...

The 0z Euro looks great! 2-4” widespread for everyone over the next 10 days. Yep, and no freezes nearby in that particular run as well! December 2008 is an example of a wintry (snow) event that I can tolerate — temps in Houston went no lower than 32°F during the night, after daytime highs in the 40s.

2023 was an atrocious weather year. 2024 better be way better. The only time that I will side with you and others on this board concerns summer weather — droughts like in 2022 and especially 2023 are useless, I'd much rather have cooler, wetter summers like that from 2021. But freezes are also usel...

Yes, Merry Christmas to you all 🥰

The real serious cold so far this winter has been over in Asia — record lows (or close to it) over in places like Beijing, Seoul, etc.

I’m sure you’re happy about that. Freeze-free IAH is a chance to break a record ... in a good way. Contrast that with the past atrocious August — had the city hit 110°F+, that would have been a bad record to break. And considered that parts of Golden Triangle and Acadiana actually hit that 110°F+ m...

This morning's low at IAH was 33°F — the freeze-free streak continues.

Jason does like snow though. Never knew that. I do see where he's coming from, regarding alpine regions and such. Sufficiently cold, dry air aloft can really power things even through much milder surface levels to create good surprises — remember earlier in March, there was some sleet reports even ...

I would actually enjoy winter more in Colorado than Texas. 30’s and 40’s, overcast with a cold rain and blustery winds just plain suck. But Colorado would get even colder, more blustery than 30s-40s though. Albeit, the eastern side cold more like the plains with shallow cold outbreaks ... but cold ...

That poster doesn’t like exciting weather and wants things to remain normal and near averages. Oh no, I do like "excitement" and deviations from averages ... but only during summer in the form of heavier, more frequent sea-breeze storms, cyclones, and other tropical-type convection. My id...

So we want the low further away from the coast? What day are we talking here brwzoriatx probably the sunday-monday timeframe next week, and yes we want the low further off shore because the closer it is to shore, it will be able to bring in more mild air, keeping everything liquid, still a lot of u...
