Big changes on the 12Z Euro. As soon as the images update, I'll post them. Wow...

[ticka1]

Are these changes on the EURO good or bad as in cold or warmer/ snow or no snow?

Let's just say the Euro suggests most of TX will see wintry weather. Awaiting the next few images to show everyone.

OK srainhoutx i'm good at tropical modeling, but lousy that winter weather modeling, what does that WOW mean.

So that would be a good WOW. Thanks tireman4.

when you say good things, what do you mean? no cold air? Don't take away my cold air!!! I want to see wintry precip.

OK folks, the 12Z Euro suggests a Coastal Low developing in S TX as the Arctic boundary is diving S deep into TX. A very strong upper air disturbance is still to our W and progresses across TX much further S than we have seen. In Euro world this is a classic winter storm signature. Will it verify, we will see...

srainhoutx the Euro explanation is greatly appreciated.

Check out 168 -10c isotherm line reaches the coast. I think think this is the coldest run yet.

Amazing cold on the Euro for E TX/LA...

[vci_guy2003]

What does that model run mean in terms of max and min temps??

[sambucol]

Amazing cold on the Euro for E TX/LA...

How cold?

[srainhoutx]

How cold?

The -10's (dashed blue line) to the Coast would suggest teens with some possible upper single digits inland. Not too sure I buy those extreme low temps, though at this time.

Teens if not lower in Houston.

[Mr. Weather]

how confident are we in that this is going to be the model it follows its still like 5 days out so a lot can change though

[weatherguy425]

Afternoon AFD's should be interesting...

[tireman4]

(Channeling my inner Wxman57). Let us see if this verfies Sunday. Then....oh my goodness.

[Rich]

WOW, the 12Z Euro is surely impressive If this were to verify looks like many record lows would be broken!!
