A historic winter storm, that began on February 9th, 2021, continued to cripple the region through February 19th. One wave of winter precipitation moved across the region February 13-15th, with another round of snow and ice on February 16-17th. Snowfall totals for both rounds ranged from 1 inch to nearly 10 inches with the largest snowfall totals across the eastern counties of the CWA. Icing totals were highest across parts of Central Texas again where over a half inch of ice was reported in some areas. While the snow and ice had impacts to transportation, power and more, the largest impacts were from the record breaking cold temperatures and wind chills.
Extremely cold temperatures and wind chills gripped the region during this period. The impacts and damages to the region during this historic event were largely due to the cold temperatures/wind chills. The cold temperatures resulted in days-long power outages for some, and an immeasurable amount of pipe, infrastructure and building damage. Damage totals that have been reported so far are near 140 million for North and Central Texas, and most of that is likely contributed to the cold weather. In addition, 30 deaths were officially reported during this period/event. Many of the details of each case were unknown at the time of publication due to pending information from county officials, but many of the known causes were due to hypothermia or the cold weather.

...New Short Term, Aviation...
.SHORT TERM... /NEW/
/Through Tonight/
Arctic air and moisture below 10K feet will keep it cloudy and
very cold across all of North and Central Texas today and
tonight with highs below freezing across the entire region,
ranging from around 20 near the Red River to around 30 degrees in
the south. These high temperatures are 30 and 40 degrees below
seasonal normals. Temperatures tonight will be very cold for North
and Central Texas with lows ranging from the teens in the
northwest to the upper 20s in the far southern zones.
The cold air and moisture, coupled with some weak large scale
ascent associated with an upper low rotating across Northern
Mexico, will result in some patchy freezing drizzle, especially
this morning. While not everyone will see freezing drizzle, those
that do will see light accumulations with slick spots developing,
even on some roads. Much of the freezing drizzle will shift south
into Central Texas this afternoon and may even mix with some sleet
as the upper trough axis drops into deep South Texas. The
departure of this upper trough will allow the next upper system to
move quickly out of the Four Corners region tonight. Increasing
large scale lift, deepening moisture, and sub-freezing
temperatures will result in a mix of winter precipitation with a
chance of light freezing rain and sleet in the evening, followed
by increasing sleet and snow chances overnight. The chances for
measurable precipitation will remain low through tonight but will
increase significantly after sunrise Sunday.

.LONG TERM... /Issued 256 AM CST Sat Feb 13 2021/
/Saturday through Next Weekend/
Key Points:
-Record cold conditions expected with temperatures remaining
below freezing now through most of next week.
-Winter Storm Warning in Effect.
-Light freezing precipitation today and tonight. Sleet and snow
developing Sunday, transitioning to all snow by afternoon. Bouts
of heavy snow possible Sunday afternoon through Monday morning.
-A break in the snow late Monday/Tuesday, but frigid conditions
continue. More snow possible late Tuesday through early Thursday.
Deep cyclonic flow will persist across the CONUS for most of the
forecast period, helping to maintain the frigid arctic airmass
currently affecting areas from the Front Range to the Mississippi
Valley. Multiple disturbances will rotate around the base of the
main trough over the next several days, providing opportunities
for North and Central Texas to receive winter precipitation. The
first disturbance over South Texas will lift northeast through
East Texas as a deeper trough over the Four Corners heads for
Northwest Texas. Occasional freezing drizzle will remain possible
over the southeast counties Sunday morning, with chances of snow
increasing across the northwest as the upstram disturbance
approaches. The initial disturbance will accelerate off to the
northeast in the afternoon as the shortwave off to the west draws
nearer. With the exception of a brief mix of sleet across the
south, precipitation should become all snow by Sunday afternoon.
Coverage and intensity will increase late Sunday afternoon and
Sunday evening as the shortwave advances east through Northwest
Texas. A swath of moderate to occasionally heavy snow is expected
to develop across the Big Country by afternoon and progress east
through the region late afternoon through the overnight hours.
North winds of 15 to 25 MPH will greatly reduce visibilities
during this time, while producing below-zero wind chills. Travel
will become extremely difficult and is strongly discouraged,
especially after dark when significant snow accumulations will be
occurring or have already occurred. This forecast sticks close to
the previous as far as snowfall totals, aside from minor
adjustments per WPC collaboration, with accumulations generally
in the 3 to 7 inch range expected.
Precipitation will exit to the east Monday afternoon and will be
followed by record cold. Snow left on the ground will greatly
suppress the affects of solar radiation, and Monday highs should
remain in the teens (with a few single digits across the
northwest. Monday night temperatures look like a forecast for
Rapid City, SD with readings ranging from 5 below in the northwest
to 5 above across Central Texas.
The break in precipitation will be brief, as the next shortwave
quickly develops upstream and heads for Northwest Texas Tuesday
night. This system is actually expected to slow as it moves across
Texas, bringing additional chances for snow starting Tuesday
night and continuing through Thursday morning. Snowfall totals are
still uncertain at this time, but mid range ensembles show the
possibility of additional, possibly significant, accumulations
before precipitation ends Thursday. Fortunately, it looks like a
shift to zonal flow or weak ridging aloft, combined with a few
days of return flow, will allow for a thaw as we enter next
weekend.

.AVIATION... /NEW/
/12Z TAFs/
IFR to low end MVFR ceilings will continue at all TAF sites
through the morning with ceilings lifting to all MVFR by early
afternoon. Although model guidance wants to lift ceilings above
3000 ft this afternoon, confidence is low that this will actually
occur since daytime mixing will be very limited to non-existent
and moisture will remain present just above the surface to nearly
10K ft.
Patchy freezing drizzle will also continue through the morning,
creating reduced visibility and slick spots on many surface
including some roads and runways. Large scale lift should
gradually shift south of the region this afternoon taking most of
the precipitation with it. However, additional winter
precipitation will likely develop overnight/early Sunday morning
as the next upper level system approaches from the west and
interacts with sub-freezing temperatures. For now we will mention
light snow in the TAFs towards sunrise Sunday but it is likely
that the precipitation will begin as a mix of freezing rain and
sleet before transitioning to all snow.
A north wind will continue in the 10 to 15 knot range along with
some higher gusts through Sunday morning.
