madwx Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 with a few more relatively "mild" days today and tomorrow, it looks like colder air filters back in later this week and into the weekend, with Saturday night into Sunday being the coldest timeframe(probably even colder than this past weekend). After that, a slow but steady warming trend looks to occur for next work week bringing us out of this cold snap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 ^ Deep cold up north. We managed a single 5min ob of 1 at the airport, otherwise peaked at 0 before the snow moved in and we dropped below again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I thought it’d be worse, but I’ve been able to do my usual outdoor activities biking and hiking with no issues.

StormfanaticInd Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Forecast discussion out of Houston Texas is really something LONG TERM [Friday Night Through Thursday]... *** OVERVIEW *** * Surge of Arctic air arrives on Saturday with temperatures approaching freezing across most of the area by Sunday night. * First of two disturbances arrives on Saturday, bringing mostly rain with higher chances of mixed precip north of I-10. * Second system arrives late Sunday into early Monday. With colder temperatures in place, widespread wintry precipitation could impact most of the area during this time. * Behind the second system, prolonged stretch of below freezing and potentially historically low temperatures will last well into next week. Another round of precipitation may arrive by mid-week. A highly impactful and potentially historic period of prolonged cold temperatures with multiple episodes of winter precipitation is expected to impact SE Texas over the next week. With persistent deep surface high pressure in place over the central CONUS, arctic air will continue to push into the area as we head into the weekend. By Saturday, high temperatures are unlikely to break out of the mid-40s with lows approaching freezing north of the Houston metro. Our first shot at winter precipitation will arrive on Saturday evening as an upper shortwave trough pushes through the area. Precipitation type will be highly dependent on the timing of this feature, though a period of freezing drizzle/mixed-phase precipitation may occur north of the Houston metro but elsewhere to the south model soundings continue to favor a cold rain. Our main area of focus continues to be the arrival of a second, more amplified shortwave on late Sunday into early Monday. As this feature pushes towards SE TX and develops a slight negative tilt, GFS/EC solutions indicate the formation of an associated coastal low over the western Gulf of Mexico. PWs will remain in the vicinity of 1-1.25 in as this feature continues to develop, and model soundings remain well-saturated. With lows on Sunday evening expected to dip into the 20s to low 30s across the overwhelming majority of the area, an impactful winter precipitation event is anticipated. While precipitation type will remain highly dependent on the timing of this system`s arrival and the exact vertical temperature profiles present across the area (i.e. the presence and extent of an elevated warm layer), we are becoming increasingly confident in a widespread mixed-phase event beginning Sunday night and persisting into Monday. Global deterministic solutions continue to indicate the possibility of snow, sleet, and freezing rain impacting portions of the area during this time. This will make for a particularly hazardous commute on Monday, particularly for those who travel on elevated roadways or bridges. Surface streets may become involved as well given these persistent cold temperatures. Travelers are urged to pay close attention to the latest forecast as this situation develops. Over the next few days, timing, amounts, and types of precipitation will become more refined as higher- resolution guidance becomes evaluable. Upon the exit of the second system and subsequent clearing, SE TX looks to experience its coldest night in many years on Monday evening. Low temperatures across the Brazos Valley and other northern zones remain progged to drop into the single digits, while the Houston metro is expected to reach the low to mid 10s. Along the barrier islands and coast, temperatures will still remain well below freezing. Daily records are likely in play for several days at each of our climate sites. These conditions will be extremely hazardous to the "4 P`s" - people, pets, plants, and pipes. Consider the actions you will need to take to ensure the protection of each of these things. Risk may be further compounded by the possibility of power outages given the expected winter precipitation earlier in the day and increased energy demand for the heating of buildings. Freezing temperatures are expected to last well into the upcoming week, with lows remaining in the 20s for at least parts of the area through next Thursday. Another episode of winter precipitation is possible on Wednesday/early Thursday as a third upper trough pushes through the area, though the timing of this system and temperature profile across the area remains highly uncertain across model solutions. Now is the perfect time to prepare for this period of hazardous weather. Be sure to have multiple ways to receive weather information and continue to monitor the forecast, particularly if you must travel this weekend and early next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beavis1729 Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 Even as the cold has moderated in recent days south of 45N, it continues to be brutally cold in ND and MN. Langdon, ND dropped to -35 this morning. Lowest wind chill was -60, at 4:55 AM (temp -33, W wind at 13 mph). Looks like the WC has been -30 or colder at every single hourly ob over the past 7 days.
