Texas Winter 2014-2015

[Brent]

33/31 here briefly saw 32 earlier but with the dewpoints up I just don't see anything over than a cold miserable rain in DFW. Still waiting for a real winter storm...

[Longhornmaniac8]

So close to thundersleet!

[ATCcane]

33.8 and a thunderstorm. Got 0.20 in of rain in less than 10 minutes at Hudson Bend.

My Davis Vantage Vue weather station says "It's raining cats and dogs".

[TexasF6]

Thunderstorms at the LHWXC in NW Austin!

[Shoshana]

Quiet here. Some rain, no thunder. 34f


eta Hearing distant thunder, not enough to rattle dog, still raining.

I've been seeing the lighting to the west. There is a training line thats moving over western portions of the Austin area. It's thin but I've noticed in the last few frames some increasing development. Looks like the city core will see the back side of the line. Hoping there will be some rumbles of thunder as it passes. Temp is locked at 34°, dew point 34°.

[TheAustinMan]

Just heard a loud burst of thunder here in southwest Austin; temps near but not at freezing. Should start getting the 35 dbz line of rain in a bit.

[weatherdude1108]

Several rounds of heavy rain here with thunder. Ponding in backyard.

Go from freezing rain to thunderstorms in the same day. Gotta love Texas weather!

.UPDATE...
LOOKS LIKE THE WARM NOSE HAS TRUMPED THE WET BULBING. DEW POINTS
IN RED RIVER COUNTIES ARE PUSHING UP NEAR 32 AND THE TEMPS HAVE
REMAINED ABOVE FREEZING. HAVE REMOVED FREEZING RAIN MENTION FROM
THE GRIDS WITH THIS LATE UPDATE. THERE MAY BE SOME SMALL SLEET
PELLETS IN HEAVIER SHOWERS...AND THERE MAY BE SOME AREAS WITH LOW
TEMPERATURES OF 32 DEGREES...BUT FREEZING RAIN IS NO LONGER
EXPECTED TO STICK. 84

Gotta admit, models have had this event figured out for quite awhile....pretty impressive! !!

NWS and McCauley hinting at something Tue night/Wed AM but I'm sure it won't be much. Guess we must have to wait till Feb to see if we get a shot. From what I saw early on, March is expected to be spring like.

Tue Night/Wed AM looks like mostly Oklahoma and even up there it's expected to be light(probably 1-2" at best), but their events do seem to overperform so we'll see. Most of the real accumulating snow seems to stop at the Red River that I've seen

32.2 here and pouring rain. I do not approve of this.

[Ralph's Weather]

Another very close call, but seems to be just about all rain in northern Texas. It has dropped to 33/31 here with .23" of rain so far today.

[aggiecutter]

Currently, 31 in Texarkana with moderate freezing rain. There is significant icing on the trees and power lines. If it doesn't warm up soon, power outages will become a problem.

[BrokenGlassRepublicn]

Quite a frustrating 10 days...2 events with over .5 inches of RAIN with temps below 35 degrees, yet practically no frozen precip. Arghhhh!

[Ralph's Weather]

It has managed to drop to 32 here though the precip is dwindling down so do not expect much impact.

[dhweather]

Color me surprised 0.84 storm total precip. Temps overnight dipped to 32.4 at 3 AM, 33.7 right now. Didn't expect that much precip, delighted to have it. Glad it stayed above freezing, the December 2013 ice storm still fresh on my mind, 3 days no electricity.

I know that wxman57 and I will enjoy the warmup the next 10 days. However, unfortunately, it looks like both the EPO and NAO will go negative later this month ... meaning a return to colder weather.

[BigB0882]

I swear I have been hearing that the NAO is going negative since November and it hasn't happened. That is what has been missing for us over here in southeast Louisiana. We've missed out on much of the cold (this week being an exception) because of the NAO.

I'll enjoy it too. These 30-something degree highs suck.

The latest 10mb warming has occured over the Atlantic domain as well (NAO). It's mostly been in the WPO/EPO domain. Will it stick? No one knows but after the thaw it should at least trend downwards.
