Ex-squeeze me?! Baking powder?

Apparently the 06z GFS has pulled a quick U-turn on the 0z projections. And it has gone one step closer to – of all things – December for the high plains.

18z Monday

This is the suggested precipitation type for Monday, March 25, 2013 across the Texas panhandle and the rest of the region in the afternoon.

And yes, blue means snow.

The GFS computer weather model suggests high temperatures in the low 30s on Monday and Tuesday.

Not sure how long this projection will hold. Keep in mind at about 10-12 days out these forecast models are still relatively inconsistent . But if it holds, talk about a far cry from where Amarillo will be today.
