Texas Winter 2010-2011

Is this model the only one showing a snowstorm for northern areas of Houston?

All of the models in some shape or form does. Most are very light. CMC is the most heavy

Ntxw, how much snow is the CMC showing for Houston?

[South Texas Storms]

I would say there is an excellent chance.. they will make it to San Antonio. A small chance they move just to the north. This looks more like a fall type line of Thunderstorms instead of a late winter one. Amazing..

I agree. I really hope the line doesn't go just north of SA!

I don't have detailed information on the CMC. Perhaps a pro met can provide that. It's not important right now though, CMC is the alone in drawing back a lot of moisture. Give it some time and see what the more reliable models show.

The storm currently has been giving models a headache. Even now, short range models are struggling with it. Some ppl are going to be in for a rude awakening in the morning. HRRR now expanding the area of wintry precip east and south.

Thanks for your input. I have read that the NAM, which is showing several inches of snow accumulation in the city of Houston on Friday, is usually among the last to catch on. Thinking that precip forecasts are being underestimated...

Dang, Denton just went from 38 to 34 in one hour. Almost there, then there is no turning back. This could get interesting.

Snowing in Fort Worth.

Freezing line is so close. Just wonder how long till the precip will start freezing or falling as sleet/snow instead of rain still.

Abilene is reporting thunderstorm and snow . Perhaps dynamic cooling is taking effect more than progged.

Decatur 32 and light snow.
Gainesville 34 and light snow.

It's at 32 here now (Weatherford). But it is still only rain. I expect the transition is about to occur to sleet or snow (or else it will be freezing rain soon).

Do I always need to say my location or does it show me as being from Weatherford?

it doesnt show ur from weatherford, but you can list it by editing your profile.

If these radar reflectivities are accurate, Fort Worth should be transitioning over to sleet before 1 am. And if that's the case, we could double these storm totals currently forecast.

Good lord. I do a little workout and notice the winds going crazy so i'm like "oh cold front is here" 30 minutes later I step outside and i'm like "OH MY FREAKING GOSH THE COLD FRONT IS HERE!!!!!!!"

[Ntxw]

Models have been total junk. Even the short range RUC/HRRR. All fail. Reports > models. Everything is unfolding a lot faster than expected.

When I left an hour or so ago I thought things were trending downwards a tad. Doesn't seem that way now.

Do I have every right to be concerned that if we get a few inches of snow/sleet/ice that there is a very good possibility that I will be stuck at my place until Friday at best due to road conditions and temps being what they are forecasted? Just thinking this is getting real and quick and there is nothing we can do about it.

And I am off of work tomorrow so I got all night now.

Probably. With the temps forecasted, it's not going anywhere until the weekend.

I don't know about getting stranded. Probably going to depend on how much we end up getting here in N. Texas. Now roads will be TREACHEROUS for sure. I remember a couple of viscious sleet storms in the 1980s here. Solid sheet of ice for days afterwards...
