Weather advisory for Lawton for severe thunderstorm and 30 minutes later it's snowing.

Re: Texas Winter 2018-2019
HRRR is doing a good job with a bit of lead time. Changeover happening (radar) around WF and slightly to the east as the 850s demarcation is racing. Even the NAM now looks interesting for DFW in a few hours.
Looks like folks will wake up to a little bit of snow falling.

Well it's looking good for some of you north Texas folk. My real fun will be Saturday night where it's looking like we could get pretty close to blizzard conditions here.

I don't see it happening. It looks like the precipitation is outrunning the cold air to me.

Looking at the radar it’s possible. NOAA website has Bowie airport reporting snow when radar shows rain. I guess we’ll know shortly

I'm up and waiting... Not sure if I should nap and get up around 6-7 or what. The wind is brutal, there are several power outages already around the metro.

Wundermap radar shows snow in Bowie, and 32. DFW airport is 43, Denton is 39. Wonder if the temp will drop in time for the snow.

Re: Texas Winter 2018-2019
I think the cold is moving quickly enough to drop temps. Looks like it is sleeting slightly here in Ponder. Says it’s still 39

Re: Texas Winter 2018-2019
Some sort of icy mix here in Ponder, temp dropped two degrees, down to 37, wind is howling. My north windows have ice, albeit small amounts, sliding down.
