Euro looks very similar to last run so far... front blasts through Sunday afternoon in DFW and again shows possibly a small window for some very light precip as temps go below freezing

If we could get that secondary trough dropping southeast out of Montana to stay back over the Rockies, we could see our snow chances increase by Tuesday. Canadian is the farthest west with that disturbance, and it shows snow and sleet across central and southeast TX.

0z Euro shows more moisture associated with the second disturbance on Tuesday, with snow in Austin, SA, and Houston. Looks kinda similar to the Canadian.

3 inches of snow on the Euro just north of Houston!

Really interested to see what the Euro Ensembles show. Good trend from the Operational Euro tonight though.

Me three, I'll be so mad. At that point, just give me 100 degrees starting mid-May. Start off Feb with 80's.

Hey the NAM looked pretty good earlier for precipitation and that’s a pretty good model from what I understand and it did sniff out the snowstorm on the 7th-8th.

:uarrow: Short range NAM can be pretty good, but the NAM in it's long range is just like most models in their respective long ranges. I'd wait an see until we're within 45-60 hours.

Maybe we will all see snow. To be honest 0z Euro was a good trend. Usually you follow the vorticity and it will find a way to snow. it's a good first step. We have virtually no chance with a positive tilt trough, but signs it may not all be so
