21Z RAP shows the upper trough entering Central Texas with a batch of moderate rain moving though Central Texas tomorrow morning. Looking at its Skew-T for the Tyler area there should be some good snow falling but melting as it nears the ground so if we can hold surface temps in the mid 30s by late morning we could see a quick round of moderate snow.

Snow in the hill country, not likely but excerpt from EWX forecast....FORECAST SOUNDINGS OVER THE EDWARDS PLATEAU INTO HILL COUNTRY SHOW SNOW AS THE PRECIPITATION TYPE OVERNIGHT INTO FRIDAY
MORNING. HOWEVER...EXPECT BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPERATURES TO BE ABOVE
FREEZING AND HAVE GONE WITH A RAIN/SNOW MIX AND NO SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS. SHOULD STRONGER DYNAMICAL COOLING TAKE PLACE...THEN
ACCUMULATIONS COULD BE POSSIBLE.

Enjoy the brief warm up after this cold shot because, according to the latest Euro Weeklies, the entire state of Texas is below normal starting next Friday through the end of its run on Feb. 23rd!!! :cold: Almost 3 straight weeks of below normal temps continuing the trend of cold anomalies, now we just need a little more Arctic Air involved

Just heard one of the local TV mets here in Austin say if Austin is going to see snow this winter then next weekend is our best bet.

Euro has low temps into the upper 20s from south TX through Houston and low 20s up in Dallas for Feb. 1st. Not cold enough for me, but it'll have to do.

I'm loving the wide spread 2.8 to 2.9 inches of rain all across the Austin area. We might push that up to 3 when all is said and done with this system but we'll see.

These are some bi-polar posts between wxman57 and portastorm. Perhaps it should be wxman -57.

I wonder if Porta and wxman57 will be back to "normal" by then...you don't think it will be permanent do ya?...like when mom would say, don't cross your eyes, they'll get stuck that way. :eek:

I consider this a huge win for you guys. Snow/ice would be nice, but 3" of liquid gold overrides that, at least to me, every single time.

We have clocked in with 1.24" total since yesterday. I don't expect more than 0.25" more

Driving back from CO on Saturday next week. We might not see snow fall while there until our drive back. Could be a long long drive back. Next weeks storm looks quite similar to the one going on right now. The storm going on now was seen by models over 10 days out. The one for next weekend has also been forecasted very far out. We shall see, but next week does look very interesting. The SJT has been a bit strong this year so its limiting much of the cold air from crashing down into the plains. Without it, we wouldn't have moisture though! All about timing. We need the cold air to be in place before the moisture arrives

What computer model or combination of models are these TV station "futurecast" graphics using?
