Re: Texas Winter 2018-2019
My temp has slowly gone up from 34.1 to 34.9 this evening. Not a big change but not going to ignore it either.
That said even the NWS said they may stay steady or fall slightly tonight so their forecast does not lean on raw model temps in case anyone just thinks we are in for some huge temp surprise with the high of 29 tomorrow. That’s not gonna happen.

Re: Texas Winter 2018-2019
NAM is just like the HRRR with upper 30s in Dallas by morning
even Southern OK goes above freezing. Literally at 18z tomorrow on the NAM which is early afternoon there's only a few pockets near freezing in Central OK and up north of Wichita Falls

DFW has also risen a degree in the past hour with no precip. It may be be nothing but it also can’t be ignored.

yeah see I've done this so many years(not in Dallas but elsewhere), I'm one of those people who does believe if all the models show a solution you can probably believe it to a point anyway
Basically while it wouldn't shock me completely if we bust cold and Dallas actually gets some snow, my gut says we'll probably wake up to upper 30s.

I hate to believe that but I’m so prepared to. It always happens to us—we’re always so close to magical wintry wonderland without it ever happening.

and I want snow as much as anyone but I'm just being realistic... so many times we got our hopes before, its just hard to do it again
but maybe I'll be surprised, I love surprises

Re: Texas Winter 2018-2019
Yea.. it's true temps rising although I don't know why it's kind of upsetting Sherman now at 33f, if the model temp rises are to be believed even Durant Oklahoma won't see any snow kind of upsetting looks like the low is on a more northerly trajectory , although I have no idea why the temps are rising

Re: Texas Winter 2018-2019
Has anyone looked at a sounding to see if there is a warm nose moving in slightly overhead ahead of the low? That could do it I guess as I’m not sure what else would do it with the sun down and north wind and no warm rain currently.

Re: Texas Winter 2018-2019
CAA is relaxing and the air mass to our north has moderated during the day, our source of cold air is fading fast.

That sucks. Pretty much eliminates snow chances for the Metroplex if I had to guess.

Unfortunate timing on moving here was not good. I moved here in 2003 and this is the longest ice/snow drought we’ve had. 2008-2013 was crazy, particularly if you lived in western Collin and Denton county.

Not necessarily, there will still be dynamic cooling potential as the ULL moves in and through the area. Also, our source of cold air is fading but cloud cover should keep temps stable, so we will probably still see snow mix in or a switch to snow, esp. in heavier bands. It just won't stick around on the surface for long in the warmer areas (this is talking the northern burbs of DFW).

Because the cold is with the low as it’s more of a pacific front than a true blue norther. As the Low heads away, so does the cold.

It makes it easier and safer to chase it though. I'm already up here so if its snowing at a pretty good clip 30 minutes or less a way I think I'm going.

I moved here fall 2014 and got spoiled that winter...
It's barely snowed at all since.
