Texas Winter 2022-2023

Now our TV met is lowering his snow prediction

Based on trends (which is sort of how these particular setups go), doesn't look as promising accumulation wise but then again you could say that for a lot of areas based on what models had just yesterday. The trend was definitely lower today overall regardless of model preference as mentioned this morning with the exception of portions of western Oklahoma and into the Lubbock region. Elevation also matters with these dynamic systems.

I think tonight the "winner" is going to be SE Oklahoma into NW Arkansas based on real-time trends. Doesn't look to be in the cards for DFW unless radar returns get a little more impressive to the west than what they appear right now. Dry air beginning to creep in from the SW. Maybe some flurries?

Coverage should start to fill-in North of Abilene over the next few hours as the ULL ejects out of the Permian Basin and interacts with more moisture in the eastern half of the state

The tornado in SE Houston to Baytown may have lifted, but I can't be sure of it.

HRRR definitely hasn't been friendly to Tulsa today or DFW, but I'm hopeful for some flurries.

It has been snowing heavily most of the day here but it seems to melt just as fast as it comes down. If only the temp was just a bit colder so it could accumulate more.

Fortunately, it has been moving fast. It came through quickly.

Southeast Houston was hit by a large and powerful tornado earlier this afternoon. I'm afraid it caused a lot of damage. Hopefully everyone took cover from it.

[Snowman67]

Rain was coming down like in a tropical system. 4.5 inches here on on the north side of Tomball

[AubreyStorm]

Where it’s my snow in Frisco or Denton?

From jeff:

A large and destructive tornado has impacted SE Harris County with numerous reports of heavy damage and collapsed structures in the Pasadena and Deer Park area to NW of Baytown. Significant damage has occurred and numerous roads and highways are blocked with debris. A significant emergency response is ongoing…avoid the area.

Hopefully no serious injuries. Seeing some damage pics on social media. Not good.

Probably need a separate off topic thread for the major tornado hits in Houston. Those reports are interrupting all the minute by minute IMBY snow wanking updates....

Looks like Pasadena, Deer Park, and Baytown took the brunt of the “damaging tornado”. Also looks like it recycled itself just ENE of Cove.

There is a Severe Weather Thread

This has to be sarcasm…

Still no snow here despite the radar saying so temps are absolutely killing us

It's 39°F in Tulsa, compared to mine's 32°F

There’s a good chance Tulsa sees some snow in early February. Pretty strong signal for it.

Thoughts and prayers to those in Houston (I lived there from 2013-2018). Luckily people there are very resilient to natural disasters.

...very weird to me to have a long tracker like that in that part of the world. Used to quick QLCS spin ups and obviously massive flooding.

Starting to snow pretty heavy in Abilene now. Accumulated not so much. Will keep posted from this part of Texas.
