Now AZ, wxman57 isn't being negative and he certainly doesn't hug the models. What has been showing up for the past couple of days is another upper low diving S through the Great Basin/Intermountain West near Christmas. Guidance has been struggling with the exact details, but the charts I posted show a closed core upper low much further S into Mexico ejecting NE across Central Texas with some chilly air being pulled down from Central/Eastern Canada as the 3 jet streams (Arctic/Polar/Sub Tropical) merge, if you will. Right now it's just something to monitor, but there is a chance if we have some moisture to work with that things could get a bit interesting. We will see. Remember, the guidance still is not reliable beyond 3 days out in this active pattern. So, we will watch and see how it all plays out.AZ_ARIZONA_DESERT wrote:SRAIN,EXPLAIN WHAT YOUR LAST POST SHOWS.
