Thank you!

Control runs this far out are for entertainment purposes. It's good to look at them for potential outcomes, but I like to look at the GEFS and EPS (ensemble packages) and blend them if their upper air patterns look similar.
Right now, both show a cold next two weeks once we get past mid week this week. How cold is really hard to nail down outside 5-7 days. There are some extreme ensemble members (highs in the teens and 20s) on the table, and some in the 50s. There is your range for Christmas week.
We need to see the Siberian air enter NW Canada before we nail down how cold.

From Jeff Linder this AM newsletter:
Next Week:
Operational runs of the various models continue to struggle with the potential delivery of a bitter cold arctic air mass into the US the week of Christmas. Ensemble means have been a bit more consistent with the formation of an impressive surface arctic high pressure system over the Arctic Ocean/NW Canada by this time next week with some of the coldest air currently on earth over northern Siberia (-70 to -80F) being brought across the north pole and into NW Canada. Questions remain as to if this air mass drops down the plains or moves more ESE/SE toward the Great Lakes giving Texas a glancing blow. For now will continue with below normal temperatures through next week and see how the models trend over the next few days and how much cold air builds into the delivery source region over NW Canada.

Are the numbers the temps?

Are you a meteorologist? You know a lot about the weather… not being snarky, it's a serious question
Was one of these the time Galveston Bay froze over?Mostly Foggy Recollection said:
It happened in 21, 89, 83, 77
Almost happened in 2011 and 2018
