EARLY LOOK AT CHRISTMAS

Good evening everybody. It sure was nice to see some rain this morning. Unfortunately, it didn't amount to much here in the city. Camp Mabry only picked up 0.05 inches of rainfall, however, the airport picked up 0.42 inches of rainfall. Areas off to the southeast of Austin faired a bit better. 

So, I'm sure you are all wondering what the weather is going to be like for Christmas. To be honest, I'm not very sure at this point. Two of the main forecast models I look at are telling two different stories. The GFS (American Model) keeps it relatively mild across Central Texas with highs in the 50s and 60s, however, the ECMWF (European Model) shows a strong Arctic front moving into Texas.

Keep checking back for more updates. As we get closer to the actual date I will have a much better grip on what is actually going to happen.
