The overnight Ensembles suggest a strong Arctic invasion is developing as February begins. The effect of the Sudden Stratospheric Warning event in early January is reaching our part of the Northern Hemisphere. Get those Winter Clothes ready!

The GFS doesn’t even have much of a front through here lol the coldest it gets is the upper 30’s. It has all the cold air going east.srainhoutx wrote: ↑Sun Jan 31, 2021 8:40 am The overnight Ensembles suggest a strong Arctic invasion is developing as February begins.

Euro and Canadian have been bringing the cold in a week. If there's precip. at just the right time - might avoid the warm nose.
The GFS and Euro are now both in agreement that the coldest air will be well east of Texas. Still a long ways out though and it could easily shift back west as we get closer. Models do this all the time at this range and then slowly shift back west. We’ll see.
12z EURO and CMC both show a winter storm setup early next week. Getting a glancing blow of cold air is better for us if you want a better chance of frozen precip.As a direct blast of arctic air would cause 9 times out of 10 too much suppression/dry air for any precip. But its still really early expect a lot of flip flopping as the models get a better handle on the upper level pattern.
My wife and I are thinking of going to Branson, Mo. the week of Feb 8-13. What would this do to the weather there for that week? Thanks!

The SSW has so far failed to give Houston anything. Now all we are talking about is a glancing blow of air that goes East.
