A very interesting pattern is setting up over the next several days. We are still seeing the effects from the La Nina pattern still in place. A strong southern stream system and northern stream system. Earlier in the week I thought we would tap into the southern stream by Friday, but right now it looks like the northern stream will dominate our weather through the end of the week.
Here is the model for Thursday where the southern system with lots of warm air looks very strong.
But that system gets pushed down to the south by a northern stream high pressure and a small low pressure trough that moves through. The area of low pressure will bring some rain or snow late Thursday and early Friday. While the main area of low pressure to the south stays in Texas.
By Saturday some cold air wraps around the area and we're off to a cold start.
Even though Sunday morning looks cold by Sunday afternoon temperatures begin to turn warmer but here you can see a very strong southern and northern stream with two very distinct weather systems developing.

Greg---are there chances that on some days we get in between the jet streams and end up with fairly normal weather?
It's not so much that we find ourselves 'between' jet streams and we experience 'normal' weather. It has more to do with the very fast winds on both jet streams that make this Spring look very active as far as changing weather. Usually the La Nina pattern slows down after March and we see the polar jet stream begin to retreat to the north. Let's hope that process begins in April.
