Though if the freeze line can creep eastward there is a lot more moisture in ETX. Over here it will most likely be 35 and heavy rain, but that is very close so temp trends will have to be watched carefully. We still have a couple days of model watching so much can still change. What we know for sure is that it will be cold is and there will be moisture, but the freeze line could stay west of DFW or push through E TX and that will determine what happens.
The trend today has been a much more powerful, amped up storm. That's been the case this year with these bowling ball lows. Cold comes in first, then you have strong overrunning from the deep system to the west. Still though it is a trend. It was not a very moist system depicted not too long ago but that has quickly changed.
