6z GFS maybe showing consistency for some snow in the 1st full week of December, in the long run, there is some winter mischief in Texas, from Western to Central to Eastern Texas.

Watched Pow Ponder this morning. If I’m not mistaken, he said the Arctic air is coming down and it sounded like the same time frame the models are showing. He is in Texas.

I agree. Last January he was talking about the sudden stratospheric warming that would lead to the historic temps and freezing weather we got here. Because of his warning, I started preparing my property 2 weeks before it hit mainstream weather news.

I'm sure another Stratwarm will cause the cold to come here eventually this winter.

Warmer SST’s in that area help build a ridge which blocks zonal flow allowing for the jet stream to buckle and form a trough which will send the cold air southward.

The SSTs near Alaska have warmed up lately
