More cold air on the way next week!?

[sleetstorm]

So how long would anyone in southeast Texas have to see and hear sleet/snow tonight/tomorrow morning as the precip. is leaving before all has completely left the state? Thirty minutes to a few hours at best?

With moisture as well.

Accuweather calling for mix of rain/snow for Orange tomorrow morning..........

I wonder ( and I always wonder)..if March would have snow here? I am thinking you never know. This has been one odd winter. Well summer was an odd one too. I mean from the searing heat (Yeah, I know Wxman 57 loved that) to bone chilling cold, this has been one to write home about. So Wxman 57 ( or anyone else)..how has the GFS and ECMWF
performed this winter? I mean the December 4, December 25 and now February 10 snows?

Texas City: 45 degrees on the north side of my house right now and a constant steady rain since 6:00 a.m. I don't expect ice of any kind today or tonite, and will pray that it stays that way. Summer cannot come soon enough for me.

I am with you. I might just move down to Miami or Key West. My friend went there during Christmas and they complained about it getting to 60 or 50 for the low (which by the way almost never happens).

Oh good ... we all want another cold rain event!

You folks don't need to go to Tahiti to escape the winter weather. Just come to your state's capital city ... where it NEVER sleets or snows longer than five minutes. I guarantee it!

Four years prior to Ike I lived in the So.Austin area and we had an ice event for 5 days straight (2005 I think). Stuck in my house because I couldn't get my truck out of the 1.5" thick iced driveway. no thanks. I'm packin my bags and flying south.

[Portastorm]

That may have happened then ... but we have not had a winter weather event in three years now. And, of course, every storm this winter has bypassed us. You're safe here! We have a giant Omega Block placed over the city and it efficiently sends all winter weather in every direction but Austin.

Thanks for the links, Steve! They are like triple saved now. Man, the upcoming pattern looks icy cold for the south...

BTW, everybody should glance at the Florida panhandle. How often do you see Pensacola, FL under a Winter Storm Warning?!?!?! Incredible.

Take a look at the 18Z NAM FWIW.

Wowzers. Colder yet. We may in fact see a change over, no? It reminds me very much of March 2008 when it all started as rain and then briefly changed to a moderate wet snow for a few hours before ending. That was in College Station...

http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod ... _018.shtml

As the low comes near, the heights will collapse behind it and that's when it would happen. Man, I sure wouldn't rule it out....

[TexasMetBlake]

Looks like the core of the upper low will pass just to our north...

Notice the surface temps have held steady this afternoon and some have started slowly falling this afternoon.

[TexasMetBlake]

Okay, what am I doing wrong as far as posting images?

Given what you are seeing, what do you think the odds are of the changeover and would be this be I10 and north?
