You create your own precipitation type by moving around wet bulb and air temperature. You can get snow, sleet, or just rain.

Hey, we haven't had much fun to talk about this winter, so I thought I would point it out.....Belmer wrote:harpman wrote:By the way, has anyone seen the last two runs of the GFS?
I'm assuming you're referencing what it's showing out in "la-la" land with snow and sleet all the way down to the gulf coast first part of February? Looks like an interesting pattern is setting up in the longer range via the Euro and GFS. How it actually evolves and unfolds is another.
Yeah, hopefully it pans out. Honestly, GFS long range hasn't been all too terribly bad this winter. It's been good at showing the cold and moisture in the long range, just the placement of where it sets up is always the problem.harpman wrote:Hey, we haven't had much fun to talk about this winter, so I thought I would point it out.....Belmer wrote:harpman wrote:By the way, has anyone seen the last two runs of the GFS?

Does that mean possibly snow in our area?srainhoutx wrote:The longer range guidance continues to advertise a significant winter storm across our Region as we end January and begin February.
This is awesome news Belmer. The tradition of our young people that have 'grown up' on the KHOU Weather Board going on to become Professional Meteorologists continues. We are so proud of ALL of you that are pursuing your dream to become Professional Meteorologists!Belmer wrote:Hello KHOU Weather Board,
I've been an active member for quite sometime now. I don't get to post as much as I'd like, but I'm on here probably 5 times out of the week checking what you all have to say. It's the only part of "home" I get up here in Oklahoma. As some of you may all know from when I posted in the past, I'm wrapping up my junior year here in the meteorology program at OU and one more year of this crazy program before who knows what has in store for me. Although it's been a long time since I've posted, I iust wanted to say it's amazing to see how far this community has grown since before I was a member. It sure is moving in the right direction with all the help over the years.
I leave in a couple weeks to head to Melbourne, Australia to do a semester of study abroad at Monash University and won't be back in the US until early July. For those who are winter lovers, hang on tight. I know its been a grey winter so far, but often times, February can produce the most exciting weather around these neck of the woods.
Latest data says don't rule out a sleet pellot or two possibly near the Huntsville area with the 540 line down in that area and wrap around moisture left from this storm as it moved eastward.
Looks like I'll be seeing my last snowfall here in Norman until next winter (assuming we get snow tonight. Might just be a cold rain).
Nonetheless, best wishes to everyone and hope to be more active and contribute more on here upon my return.
Good night, mate!
And that's ahead of the model-forecasted 540 line... granted they're at a bit of elevation, but it makes you wonder about our Houston snow chance tomorrow... it'll be in the 40s, but with cold air aloft I wouldn't be shocked if we saw a few flakes up around Huntsville (TX) thru the morning.srainhoutx wrote:Midland and Odessa has switched to all snow at this hour.
