Question
QUESTION: Hi Dave I was wondering even though right now we are in a zonal flow pattern is there any indications of any Arctic air coming down into Texas yet in the coming weeks and do you think there will be any storm systems interacting with it unlike last week when it was cold and dry?
ANSWER: Cody,
No sign of arctic air coming down into Texas for at least the next week to 10 days, and perhaps the next two weeks. Whether or not any cold air will be able to interact with storms when it finally does arrive remains to be seen. Stay tuned!
Sincerely,
Dave Dombek

QUESTION: Thanks dave. So yall eventually do expect a more colder pattern sometime in february?
Cody,
Yes, the pattern is likely to turn colder again in February. Of course, you have to keep in mind that the sun is getting stronger by then, and the normal temperatures are trending back upward. In addition, it remains to be seen whether the next intrusion of very cold air will be aimed more toward the eastern third of the U.S., and into the middle of the country, including Texas. Like I said before, time will tell.
Take care,
Dave
