Fast approaching is Rodeo time. Will it be cold and wet? Rainy and warm? Or will they have nice spring weather? What are long range models hinting at?

Odds are tilted towards warm and dry conditions in our forecast for March through May from California through the Southern Plains, which could intensify drought concerns for the region. http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/p ... php?lead=1

I do believe spring has sprung! Time to put out the weed and feed.

The Updated CFSv2 Weekly Outlooks suggest more "colder" air may arrive after the first week of March.

It also seems we have a cold shot during the Rodeo as well. This year may be no different.

That's often the case, stretching into the first part of Spring Break time. Late winter La Nina busting quite possible.


Bring back some NW flow!

If we are going to get a cold snap in early March, it still isn't showing up on the operational GFS.

A quick update on what early March Weather may bring. Our Teleconnection Indices suggest a significant Northern Hemispheric Pattern change may be lurking with an extremely negative Arctic Oscillation and an extremely negative North Atlantic Oscillation suggesting a Bridge to Bridge Blocking Regime impacting North America. The GEFS Ensembles are 'sniffing out' this pattern change that may bring a return of "colder" weather across much of North America including where we live in Texas. It's Rodeo time in Houston and I expect both chili and chilly weather may be in the cards... ;)
