AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AUSTIN/SAN ANTONIO TX
300 PM CST THU DEC 16 2004

.DISCUSSION...
THE COLD FRONT HAS MOVED INTO OUR NORTHERN AREAS BASED ON WIND/DEW POINT/CLEARING TRENDS. THE MAIN FORECAST ISSUES ARE CLEARING TONIGHT...TEMPS FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THEN THE PROSPECTS FOR ARCTIC AIR AND PRECIP LATE NEXT WEEK. THE 12Z NCEP MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH 48 HOURS...WILL GO WITH GFS SINCE IT EXTENDS LONGER AND VERIFIED BETTER WITH THE MID AND UPPER LEVEL PATTERNS THE PAST FEW DAYS.

ISENTROPIC LIFT HAS PRETTY MUCH ENDED ACROSS OUR AREA...AND CLEARING WILL WORK FROM NORTH TO SOUTH THROUGH THE EVENING. HOWEVER...SOME LIFT OVER THE COLD FRONT AND INVADING HIGH CLOUDS IN THE SOUTHERN STREAM WILL KEEP THE FAR SOUTHERN COUNTIES MOSTLY CLOUDY TONIGHT... AND THE ENTIRE ARE PARTLY CLOUDY ON FRIDAY.

SEASONALLY MILD AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
WEEKEND...THEN THE START OF A COOLING TREND AS THE FIRST COLD FRONT ARRIVES USHERING A COLD PATTERN FOR MOST OF THE U.S. THROUGH THE END OF THE YEAR. THE MAIN ACTION THOUGH WILL BE SOMETIME IN THE WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY TIME FRAME...WHEN AN ARCTIC BLAST ARRIVES. THE TIMING AND STRENGTH OF THIS IS VERY IFFY. THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION IS TO STICK NEAR THE ENSEMBLE MEAN UNTIL THE PERIOD GETS CLOSER IN TIME.

Take a look at this picture.

This is as close as we gonna get to snow here in SA.

Enjoy!

[AlamoSpursFan]

I'm pretty sure it will snow somewhere between here and Clinton, OH on Christmas Day...

[MannyIsGod]

By the time arctic air gets here, it doesn't mean it's cold enough to snow. Also, the airmass is so shallow that even if it's below freezing on the surface, if it's not above the surface and we still manage to get precip, it'll be ICE.

No snow, bank on it.

[T Park]

I bet every bit of money I have on it NOT snowing.

[Shelly]

Both Weather.com and Accuweather.com are predicting possible s.n.o.w. for Xmas or Xmas eve.

Figures.

[MannyIsGod]

Well, it gets closer and closer and the models are coming to a consensus that there is a good chance for precip later this week while tempatures are below freezing.

The only factor here is how much moisture is in the air.

Right now the discussion simply mentions flurries, but even that would be pretty odd.

I'm never in the holiday mood around Christmas, but I must admit if we get flurries, that'll make my day.

The model is still going back and forth, but I'm suprised it's still considering so at this point I guess it's possible

ENJOY THE WARMTH THRU TUESDAY BECAUSE OLDE MAN WINTER COMETH!!
ANOTHER SHORTWAVE WILL DROP SOUTHWARD THRU THE CENTRAL PLAINS
TONIGHT HELPING TO CARVE OUT THE EASTERN U.S. LONGWAVE TROF. THIS
FEATURE WILL HELP REINFORCE THE NW-SE SURFACE RIDGE OVER TEXAS
ALLOWING NEAR SEASONAL TEMPS TO PREVAIL ON SUNDAY. THE UPPER LEVEL
FLOW WILL TRANSITION TO A MORE ZONAL PATTERN MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH
BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS BECOMING MORE WESTERLY. THESE FACTORS WILL
RESULT IN AFTERNOON TEMPS WARMING TO THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S ON
MONDAY WITH LOWER TO MID 70S TUESDAY.

WINTER TEMPS ARRIVE ON WEDNESDAY. AN UPPER TROF WILL DEVELOP OVER THE
NORTHERN PLAINS TUESDAY NIGHT ALLOWING THE FIRST WAVE OF ARCTIC AIR
TO MOVE INTO THE CWFA ON WEDNESDAY. THIS UPPER TROF WILL DEEPEN OVER
THE CENTRAL PLAINS WITH A SECOND AND MUCH COLDER ARCTIC INTRUSION
EXPECTED THURSDAY NIGHT. CROSS SECTIONS OF THE 12Z GFS RUN DEPICT
SUFFICIENT MOISTURE THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY MORNING FOR LIGHT PCPN.
TEMPS FROM THE SFC TO 850MB ARE FCST TO BE BELOW FREEZING.IF THE GFS
VERIFIES THEN THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SNOW FLURRIES. DUE TO THE
FLIP-FLOPPING OF THE GFS SOLUTION WILL NOT MENTION FLURRIES IN FCST
ATTM. WILL WAIT FOR A MORE CONSISTENT RUN TO RUN SOLUTIONS.

IT IS APPROPRIATE THAT WINTER BEGINS AT 642 AM CDT ON WEDNESDAY
DECEMBER 21ST.

Chicken.

[MannyIsGod]

Well then I guess I'm safe around you. I'd be worried if I was a dog though.

[LuvBones]

Are we talking about 'snow on the ground' snow, or just 'sleet that looks like snow' snow? :lol

[KEDA]

Snow on the ground

we need to stop the betting on like Monday at noon or something

so it will be a true guess

[MannyIsGod]

Well, if you're talking about snow on the ground there is no way in hell I'm betting for it. If you're lucky, you'll get flurries.
