re: Winter Storm for ArkLaTex at the end of January?

Last few runs of GFS have a big Texas winter storm on Saturday. Within 150 hours it has to be taken seriously. All depends on if the Great Lakes ridge holds on and amplifies the SW lobe of the main big trough. It's gonna be a very active 3 or 4 weeks in the ArLaTex region with numerous shots of cold and moisture. -ENSO going away, very slow MJO entering P8, -EPO. Winter weather lovers dream but some -NAO blocking would help slow the flow down. May even get AO to bomb negative if SSW does it's job but that is hard to project.
