The front that’s coming in now I noticed had a hp of about 1043mb when crossing over the border. The GFS is showing a 1044mb hp now with next weeks front. Judging by that alone, shouldn’t temperatures be similar with next weeks front as the one now?

I'll let the experts answer that one.

GFS isn't showing a direct hit with the cold air like it was earlier this week. A lot of the coldest air doesn't make it as far south before shifting east. Models sometimes are a little too aggressive with pushing cold air like this east. I wouldn't be surprised if models shift a little west this weekend. Either way, I think most of the region will be under a threat for a freeze (of course depending on how much skies clear out).

Why do the models tend to lose the cold air in the middle range only to bring it back in the short?

We'll see if it shifts back in future runs. I know we are expecting a freeze here in SE Louisiana. I just hope we don't shoot all of our winter bullets in November like last year.

Latest NWS forecast has a low of 37 for me Saturday morning. I’m going to skip the Imperial Oaks 5k this year. Forget that business!! No way I’m standing around waiting to run a race with temps in the 30’s!!

Temps in the 50s across most of SE TX this morning with some patches of drizzle and light rain. Clouds will persist today high temps will remain mostly in the 50s. A nice weekend with clearing skies will be followed by a strong cold front next Monday.

I am not sure we will see the clouds break anytime soon. We have a very noisy split flow developing and an active convective pattern in the Eastern Pacific. A strengthening Upper Low near the Baja is spitting impulses across Mexico into Texas. Spits of rain today appear likely for some. Clouds look to linger throughout the weekend with a warming trend beginning tomorrow. Sunday night into Monday could bring another round of heavy rainfall to our area.

Regarding the next shot of chilly Arctic air, I see the ensembles are insisting we bottom out to the upper 20's along and just S of the I-10 Corridor with near freezing temperatures along the Coastal tier of Counties for Wednesday morning. I also am noticing the cutoff Baja Upper Low is meandering closer to Texas and is much stronger or deeper than the guidance has been suggesting. That suggests to me the upglide lift behind the Arctic Front Monday may be much stronger than previously expected and throws a proverbial curveball in what our sensible weather may bring for Monday night into Tuesday. While it is always a race to have deep enough cold air in place and enough moisture to work with for any chance of wintry mischief, our Hill Country neighbors may have a chance, albeit rather small at this time.

Heh, my wife and I used to run those, but a couple of 5Ks in cold weather put a stop to that nonesense! The final nail in that coffin was a Turkey Trot 5K out in Katy that was run in 40-something-degree weather with a stiff north wind. The run to the finish was into the wind. We both said "No more!" by while sitting in the car with the heat on full hot and full blower.

Some started the race in shorts and tanks. :shock:

.AVIATION [18Z TAF Issuance]...
A mix of LIFR to MVFR ceilings across the region this afternoon,
as pockets of light rain continues to fall over much of Southeast
Texas. Most of the rain is stretched along and I-10, continuing to
shift southward. We should begin to see ceilings rise to MVFR
criteria later this afternoon, and eventually rise to VFR by the
evening hours. Mostly high clouds should linger through the
overnight hours before clearing from northeast to southwest as
high pressure builds in. Winds are out of the north between 10 to
15 MPH this afternoon, and gusty along the coast. Wind speeds
should continue to lower tonight as the pressure gradient slackens
across the region.

Keep an eye on temps. for Tuesday night. I have a forecast low of 28. I’ll need to cover the tender plants. Chances for wintry precipitation look slim at this time.

I’m expecting models to begin to turn colder with each passing run from now till Tuesday.
