Texas Winter 2024-2025

No changes on the 18z RGEM.

Was the 12z RGEM a good run for snow in N Texas? It's hard to keep up!

I searched the topic for RGEM (geez, just learned I could do that) and found the earlier post. It was a big hit.

Feb 2010 was supposed to be 1-3 inches as well.

I remember some on tv even saying only a “dusting”…

I specifically remember Larry Mowry from CBS 11 mention possibly an inch so I went to bed thinking it wouldn't be a big deal. Woke up to a winter wonderland around 7 the next morning.

Oh yea! He’s the one I liked watching the most back in those days. I liked the way he explained everything. I remember that night before too! And the next day he was updating the totals every 30 mins

The weather service was still predicting an inch when there was already 3-4 inches on the ground in the 2010 storm. They were way behind on accumulations but yes Delkus was right there with them.

18Z RGEM has 7 for Dallas, 14 for Denton and 19 NE of Decatur. A general 1.5-2" QPF across N and NE TX so anywhere where profile leans mostly snow will be slammed and others will be slammed by sleet across I-20.

At this point I’ll take anything but praying for snow.

It has consistently been showing a ton of sleet

Updated NBM (blend of models)

My company is gearing up for an all hands on deck event to do utility damage assessments. The money in that is great. Kinda want to sign up to work one of these storms one time.

Lock it in for Denton!

I wonder if 12z was just a huge model hiccup

Only thing about that is when you and your work are raking in the bucks, it's because there's a lot of people who aren't. LOL. But it is very important work and a step in the process of restoring infrastructure, so I salute ya!

These model sites do not handle precip types well. On Pivotal I am seeing it showing rain with max column temps at or below 0C. That's not how it works haha.

My point forecast has changed to a wintry mess and is 5 degrees warmer.

NWS updated forecasts before the models began improving again recently.

18z gfs still sticking to its guns with the 500mb pattern, but has a nice wraparound on the backside, resulting in the highest accumulations since 18z yesterday. Also might be a degree or so cooler but that’s splitting hairs. I am mildly encouraged by the 18z model trends today.

As much as some of us have been disappointed, our friends to the west and southwest are getting the rug pulled even harder with less chance of recovery due to qpf issues.
