Monday, August 1st, 2011 9:05pm CDTFebruary 2011
Monday, February 28th, 2011 9:07pm CDTFor the shortest month of the year, the second month of 2011 certainly brought some diverse weather conditions to Plano:
- A 44mph wind gust on 2/1
- A wind chill of -5 degrees on 2/1
- 101 hours 10 minutes continually below freezing (2/1 4:26am – 2/5 9:36am)
- A low temperature of 12 degrees on 2/2
- 9 inches total snowfall (2/1, 2/4, 2/9)
- A high temperature of 82 degrees on 2/18
The one area lacking from the above list is measurable precipitation/snow melt, which amounted to only 1 inch.

Jeffrey Luce sent me this great picture he captured earlier in the week. The picture was taken near Custer and Park following the showers Monday evening. Thank you for sharing!
A photo gallery page will eventually be added to the site for Plano area weather pics. Stay tuned!
PlanoWeather.com WXSIM Generated Forecasts

PlanoWeather.com will soon be providing forecasts created with WXSIM – Interactive Local Atmospheric Modeling System. WXSIM is a very unique software package – over 25 years in the making – for modeling, forecasting, or simply studying weather. Multiple forecasts will be generated daily and displayed on PlanoWeather.com alongside NWS forecasts. A comparison page will also be added for determining accuracy between WXSIM forecasts, NWS forecasts, and actual observed temperatures.
Here is the text version of the first forecast generated by PlanoWeather.com:

First Day of Spring and it Snows in Plano!
Sunday, March 21st, 2010 11:00am CDT
Wow! We have definitely gotten our share of snow this season. Based on local reports, it appears the bulls-eye was on Collin County for this event. We recorded 8 inches of snow here with drifts of 12 to 16 inches. It is hard to believe that it is officially Spring. Another reason why I love North Texas weather; 71 degrees on Friday, 29 this morning with snow, 61 forecast for tomorrow, 72 for Tuesday. Enough with the snow already… bring on the thunderstorms!
