Arctic air or not?

Central Texas meteorologists, from the broadcasters to the National Weather Service, are having conniptions trying to figure out what’s going to happen this weekend into next week. Some say the coldest weather in many years, others aren’t sure:

"I’d like nothing more than to tell you that the [computer forecast] models have settled on a reasonable solution regarding the timing and/or intensity of this expected arctic air," writes meteorologist Troy Kimmel. "This, however, is not the case as the models continue to be quite divergent in their solutions which really doesn’t make us feel any more confident regarding exactly how this potential event will unfold."

So we’ll just have to wait a few more days for the computer models and their artful interpreters to decide what’s going to be what and where.
