-PNA pattern forecasted which means shallow cold air coming down the Plains below an active subtropical jetstream across the south central US.

It means that the wx from southern TX into the central gulf coast could be wet and cold at times in the 5-10 day range. Bad timing for the big Mardi Gras weekend into Fat Tuesday.

What is the weather looking like in your neck of the woods for Mardi Gras week for those of us that are escaping Mardi Gras for Disney World?

Channel 4 weather app shows 60% chance of rain. Not looking so good.

Wednesday/Thursday are looking better. Rain may time out pretty good for parades.

Right now, Sunday-Tuesday look terrible. Cold, rain, frozen precip not too far away. What is it with March Mardi Gras dates and frozen precip?

Yep. We lead off on Muses night and the big weekend. (Our motto is "Carnival begins when Babylon rolls!")

I'm hoping we get a break on Thursday. Seems like the forecast is hard to pin down this year.
