Texas Winter 2025-2026

Heavy sleet in Georgetown and starting to pile up now. Thankfully freezing rain kept mostly at bay.

Fox 4 said ending around 7 a.m. for the heaviest, while CBS DFW said ending around 2 for the big stuff. That's a big difference. Hopefully, CBS is wrong. I think Fox 4 has a better reputation. Rarely even watch local news here.

Some in the central metro are still getting a bit of a dryslot, yuck.

The Azle area is the big winner tonight so far. Keep getting clobbered. I was confused for a bit...Runaway Bay is further northwest.

I have sleet drifts around my house over a foot lol.

The stuff falling along I-35 is likely the biggest if anything else happens it will be a bonus. Guess we have to see where the ULL goes hopefully it pulls this way and we get some snow to end.

Hopefully we can change over to snow by the time that surge out near midland gets here. Looks potent.

I can also confirm thundersleet. Watching the lightning out my window.

Glad it's sleet and not freezing rain for you guys.

Oh there’s plenty of freezing rain further south where I am
(Canyon Lake area). I’m concerned about power outages overnight.

Thundersleet in South Austin!!!

If there is thunder, it is going to be intense sleet. Thundersleet is a rarity.

Areas affected...portions of south-central/eastern Texas into western Louisiana

Concerning...Freezing rain

Valid 250452Z - 250845Z

SUMMARY...Mix of freezing rain and sleet likely overnight into early Sunday.

DISCUSSION...Freezing rain and occasional sleet has been ongoing from the San Antonio Metro to College Station, TX. There are reports of freezing rain accumulations around 0.05-0.10 of an inch in 3 hours. Guidance indicates that coverage of precipitation will increase over the next several hours across south-central Texas into western Louisiana as large scale ascent continues to increase.

Forecast RAP soundings depict a warm layer around 850 mb above more shallow sub-freezing air near the surface supporting the primary precipitation type to be freezing rain. HREF guidance indicates increasing probabilities of at least 0.05 of an inch per 3 hr freezing rainfall rates along and north of the I-10 corridor overnight into early Sunday morning. Sleet will remain possible at times in heavier bands, especially with further north extent into the deeper cold air across northeastern Texas.

It's 34 in Corpus, same as here. That's crazy.

Thundersleet in Rowlett!

CMC continues to signal another brutal surge of arctic air by Friday. GFS not as cold but nonetheless should keep us busy on the forum as we get passed this event.

Should Dallas be expecting the same moisture on the Midland radar to push through DFW overnight? I thought this current moisture was our main show?? It has not disappointed in the sleet dept.

It's a 2- fold main for some. 2 different features.

It can keep the cold if it’s going to be dry. Hope we get a legit snowstorm in February to cap off the winter.

[downsouthman1]

The batch that moved away from El Paso & is currently near Fort Stockton should hit DFW later but the batch that is currently over El Paso i believe won't mane it here. Could be wrong though.

[Edwards Limestone]

Surprised how quiet it is in here tonight.
