Here is a detailed look at the weather setup over the next few days.
Seeing as a healthy section of Texas is under the gun for some winter weather, it seemed like a good time to put things into perspective.
The forecast might be calling for between 3″ to 5″ of snow in some places and up to 1/2″ of ice in others, but at least it isn’t this:

Well, the week of was nice, but now it’s back to forecasting for the high plains.. Which is almost as fun.
Sadly, though, as we enter a more “summer-like” pattern across the Texas panhandle, our rain chances will be diminishing quite a bit. In fact, the most recent models are now suggesting a pretty substantial ridge of high pressure settling in across the area starting Tuesday and holding on through early next week.
That spells little-to-no-rain-chances and hot temperatures. Buckle up for the 90s and 100s to build into the area starting Tuesday and holding on until – as it looks right now – next Monday.
But after that, things may become more interesting once again with some showers and storms forecast for NEXT Tuesday through Friday.
We’ll have to play the waiting game in the meantime. Get the AC ready!
