Texas winter wx thread (2009-2010)

[msstateguy83]

the gfs is showing like over 1.50" in liquid in some areas!!!! that would be over a foot of snow......

[iorange55]

Think it's safe to label this the Christmas Eve snowstorm 09? For the red river valley north

Nothing is safe to say right now.

Looks quite promising as we are approaching within 12-24 hours time frame

lol and it looked quite promising we would get nothing 12-24 hours ago.


P.S. I have to be negative so I won't be disappointed.

That's fair. Should this happen it would be the first white Christmas for north Texas in a long time, probably longer than any of us have been alive.

iam putting the above warning b/c iam not sure its right iam quite busy over here
rightnow but looking @ the latest gfs coming in it seems to slow this system WAY
up and have snow lingering into christmas morning up till almost midday from what
i can see across a large portion of the area... i will follow up in a few if someone does
before then great

[swaha2]

How will this latest information out of DFW and the tracking of the low affect north east Texas for winter weather?

[CaptinCrunch]

Current track would up WWA to WSW for all of DFW area

[Ntxw]

I have a gut feeling, the warnings might expand further east along the I-20/I-30 counties north.

[gboudx]

I'm going put my weather rock outside. If it has snow on it tomorrow, then it'll snow.

Thanks for the updates folks. And msstateguy83 has been bold on this since last week. If this pans out, I think some serious cred is flowing his way.

[gofrogs]

Whats the new gfs saying about this system and later systems down the road.

He's not the only one...lol

Been watching this patteren take shape since last week. Watching the next one now for Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, hope it's good for the 30th, going to the AAC for Trans-Siberian Orchestra

This system it's bringing it a little further south as has been the trend which is why we're under a WWA now. It hasn't updated to next week yet, still waiting.

[CaptinCrunch]

If current model track and slowing down of upper low continue, DFW could see up to 6 inches of snow along with near Blizzard condictions

Aye, Merry Christmas yall....lol

[iorange55]

How much snow do you think that the dfw area will see.

The Dallas Fort Worth area they're calling for up to one inch, so I'd say 1 inch, and possibly more, possibly less.
