Front on Wednesday, and about the 8-10th another front will reinforce some cooler air.

For now seasonable temps with increasing sun.

So far, this has been the most "normal" winter (presuming Dec 1 as the first day of meteorological winter) I can remember in awhile.

Happy New Year all - we've made it to 2021!

Looked at all four runs of today's GFS since it gets into that extended timeframe. GFS says nothing to worry about overall. High temperatures generally in the mid to upper 30s and lows in the 20s with a night or two possibly dipping into the teens. Best snow chance looks to be the 11th with a weak shortwave moving through;, but less than an inch is being shown as of now. However, latest GFS run (18z) is different from the previous ones with warmer temps (50s & 40s for highs and no snow). Storm track well to the north with a southwest ridge (hence the warm/drier conditions).

Euro for now says the 10th will be cold with temperatures in the 20s and single digits at night.

Mid-50s, sunny, crystal blue skies, light NW breeze. No A/C, watering, etc. It just doesn't get any better than this!

Could be a similar setup to what we just dealt with. Rain our way and snow out in the Hill Country. Too far out though so it’s just something to keep an eye on.

0Z GFS starts to bring the mother load of cold down from Canada in the latter frames.... we'll see if it's a trend.

If the gfs holds for next Sunday, a 2 hr trip north up I-45 would be worth the trip to see the good stuff!

6z/12z GFS look like the wintry mischief is more north than west. Rain south of Hearne for now. but snow up to the Red River in central and NE TX.
