General Weather Discussion - January/February 2015

[Anonymous.]

GFS starting to show some more bite to Tuesday/Wednesday system. Also GEM showing up the party.

[Easy180]

The locals are also hinting about highs in the 50's on the horizon. Need them so I can take my Christmas lights down lol

[Easy180]

Just read from a weather page on FB I also follow saying each model keeps dialing down the moisture for Tue/Wed and the second half of Jan will be much warmer than the first. Said we might have to wait until Feb for any more winter precip chances

Midweek storm this week seems to be just about nothing at all at this point. Next moisture shot is around the 19th.

Bring on warmer temps. I, for one, never saw the hype for the Tues/Wed snow as moisture was always a concern once the low ejected out of the rockies.

Yea looks like flurries at best at this point.

On to the next... Jan 20 time frame.

Warmer is better!

Doesn't mean much...but for those of us still waiting for winter...

GFS keeping with an interesting storm around the 21st. Which means we'll get a few sprinkles or a dust storm.

Haha, pretty much. Long-range always looks so fun, then it comes and we have some mist at 34F. Where are the days of potent closed-lows coming out of NM and giving us an actual punch?!

12Z run doesn't even give us mist anymore. LOL

Oh this weather...or lack thereof...is depressing.

[OkieHornet]

it may be chilly, but at least there's sunshine and no wind today!

[Bunty]

Warmer is better!

Finally the 50s will return on Thursday. It hasn't been that warm, since the day after Christmas.

Early evening GFS run is a whopper of a storm around Jan 20-22.

That's almost a classic path for a snow storm from the Plains to the Lower Lakes. It vanished on the 12Z run but interesting to see it back on the 18Z...and on the operational one to boot.

The two we might get to play with later this month...

First on the 21st/22nd...


Then on the 28th/29th...

GFS keeping powerful winter storm in play for early next week. Consistency is key, but we have seen the last few winters how easily these can "dry up".

Right now it is looking significant. As it stands, we are talking snow - and a lot of it.

[venture]

FYI - GFS upgrade when in this morning. So all GFS forecasts you see now are from what was the Parallel GFS. The old operational one is gone.

This morning's GFS takes storm on a more southerly track, dumping the heavy snow in NW TX.

[Achilleslastand]

With the way this winter has gone so far id say its pretty good odds this misses the metro area completely.

[Easy180]

Ole Damon Lane is going with 20% chance of rain/snow mix next week with low impacts on travel. We will see....

Ground temps will probably soar with 5 days of sun and fun before it makes Oklahoma

[Anonymous.]

GFS keeping trend of sinking the storm track south as it exits Rockies. Giving the snowstorm to NW TX. Will keep monitoring trends obviously.

[venture]

Not much in the way of precip coming according to the 12Z GFS. Next chance isn't until the 28th according to it. So it would appear we are going into fire season early...

[venture]

00Z Update of GFS has us dry now until the 1st of February.

[venture]

After a few consistent runs, the 12Z GFS is starting to tear about the storm for Feb 1st now for us. This is just a bad trend with the drought and fire season kicking in early.
