Pre-frontal. One thing that we will have to watch for is "flash freezing" of leftover water on elevated surfaces with temperatures almost immediately crashing into the 20s behind the front. This is probably the strongest cold front I've ever seen in my 16 years of doing meteorology. Pretty incredible. Take it in. You may or may not see it again.

Feb 2021 was a stair step down. It was a series of arctic fronts that pushed our temps down. I've never seen temps crash this hard, this quick behind the front. It could be near 60 degrees in Dallas while Fort Worth is in the mid 20s. Insane.
Blake… you’re back in Tampa, right?

Nah, I'm freelancing in Austin right now. I came back a while ago. Things didn't work out in Tampa.

10-4. Thanks for sticking around!

I’m likening this front to the December 1989 front I experienced in Longview. From 75 to 25 in a flash.

Record breaking Arctic highs will do that.

Thank you. It’s has sped up it sounds like. Or I’m so tired trying to get everything ready, I could have imagined that 😳

What about Galveston? Any info on that?
