Extended mild conditions for the first half of November. That's actually pretty typical. Can't say this in most place in the country. South Central/Brazos Valley's best weather is usually in November. The last couple of years we had really humid an unseasonable wx. Blah! We may have more normal weather before La Nina does it's thing (which is not always its norm).

Winter disappoints too often. Summer is what it is. College Station has less capping than HGX so there's one eye open at all times during severe season.

I’m not so sure about that. Models are hinting at something (possibly significant) in around 10 days or so.

There looks to be a big storm developing on the Euro at day 10 with significant ridging over the GOA. Something to watch.

I'm seeing mostly nothing until the 8-10th as of 12z.

Zeta remnants are off the coast of NC now. Wow. Good riddance.

Nice (brief) spurt of upper 40s but looks to get no higher than mid 70s this coming week. Should be nice.

Alright, so for all of those who complain that we have two weeks of winter and then 50 weeks of summer hell every year, I present to you the seven day forecast. It doesn’t get much nicer than this.

I looked at the 500 millibar level for geopotential height. I looked at dates where Houston saw freezes in November.
https://psl.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/data/compo ... .day.v2.pl

There is ridging over Alaska and Northwestern Canada, which is negative East Pacific Oscillation (EPO). EPO has played a major role in cold blasts, even if North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is positive.

Interesting some decades see more freezes than other decades.
