Definitely a nice cold day, still think we will be in store for one more cold snap before this winter is over though
We got the plants in. Thank God for teenagers 
30 tonight. Hopefully this is the last freeze.

I am ready for Spring 2022 and like the heat more than cold unless we get snow or sleet down here in Galveston County. With that said it’s actually been a very nice Winter with beautiful days like today.
Too many windy days in spring. It’s rather annoying. I’m not a fan. They do start to relax later in April and into May though. I’m not ready for winter to be over yet. I like going to work and not being drenched in sweat.
The good thing about the wind is that it feels less hot and humid. But then there's the argument that the south winds are pumping water vapor into the Brazos Valley and HOU Metro area during the Spring!

both the 12 CMC and GFS show one more possible cold snap before winter is over, we just need that stupid annoying SE Ridge to stay far enough away from having too much of an influence

12z Euro for late next week, this is not going to be happen, but of course their is always that one model that likes to tease us

0z Euro is quite interesting but it looks like it has a hard time pushing into southeast TX. SE ridge is getting in the way.
NWS sure keeps trimming my rain chances for tomorrow night. Was 70%….60%….now 50%. Grrrrrr.

I think we need to turn our attention to early/late next week, models have veen consistent with developing a strong storm system associated with a dip in the jet stream digging out west , its too far out to get specific on details, but definitely worth monitoring, the position of the SE Ridge will be important, if the ridge is too close to us then this potential storm system could get shunted off to the Northeast much sooner, but if the ridge if a little further away then this would allow the storm system to dig further east before ejecting off to the NE

Yep i agree,late next week looks to be yet another winter storm setup for Texas.Like you mentioned, we would need the SE ridge to be weaker or further east to get any wintry precip down here though.Stay tuned as changes are likely.
Big NW/SE Hwy 1*5 gradient next week.
60% chance of rain this Wed. night. My beds are wet enough, but they are also dead enough
because of cold and wind dessication.We should have a light frost Friday and Saturday in my IMBY. Nada likely down near HOU.
Another significant warm-up before the front next week and the likely last chance for wintry mischief. We could get a frost or two by Spring Break, as is typical in this area of Texas.
Then it will be prepping for and dealing with Howling Wind and Severe Season!

One thing that may be different with this system compared to the storm earlier this month.Is the large snowpack that will be in the plains and Rockies.That could potentially allow the airmass to not modify as much this time.
Looks like a trough and front rather than a cold core cutoff low. That's what we would need for major action. More overrunning, but there could always be a surprise like Saturday.
