Yeah but did you notice the 0z GFS has the upper level system further north and a bit weaker than the 12z run? Big changes too in upper dynamics over Canada between the two runs.
Portastorm wrote:Maybe it's quibbling at this point but actually I think the 0z GFS is faster than the previous 12z run. For example, at 12z Friday morning, the 0z GFS has the upper low between Corpus and Houston. The 12z run had it near Del Rio.
Regardless, you North Texas folks look to be in business. I share your confidence (for your area at least). I think it may be a dicier proposition for my area.

But my opinion ... hmm ... based on what I see, I'd say on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 meaning big-time travel issues in DFW and 1 meaning no worries ... I'd score it a "3" right now. Subject to change of course.

.DISCUSSION...
307 AM
AT 3 AM WE ARE SEEING AN OCCASIONAL LIGHTNING STRIKE...WITH SOME
BRIEF HEAVY RAIN OCCURRING IN THE STRONGEST CELLS. MCKINNEY
AIRPORT HAS PICKED UP 0.37 OF RAIN SO FAR. I EXPECT TODAY/S EVENT
TO CONTINUE IN THIS FASHION THROUGH THIS EVENING. STORM TOTAL
PRECIPITATION STILL LOOKS LIKE ABOUT A HALF INCH IN THE SOUTH AND
AN INCH TO AN INCH AND A HALF IN THE NORTHEAST. CREEK AND RIVER
FLOODING CONTINUE TO BE THE MAIN THREATS. RAPID DRYING IN THE
ATMOSPHERE WILL ACCOMPANY THE COLDER AIR TONIGHT...AND WE HAVE
REMOVED ANY MENTION OF WINTER PRECIP OVERNIGHT. I CANNOT
COMPLETELY RULE OUT A FEWFLURRIES IN THE NORTHEAST...BUT IT DOES
NOT APPEAR TO HAVE A HIGH ENOUGH PROBABILITY TO PUT IN THE
FORECAST AND WOULD LEAVE NO IMPACTS. WIND CHILLS IN THE TEENS ARE
EXPECTED MONDAY NIGHT/TUESDAY MORNING...WITH WINDS GUSTING INTO
THE LOW 30S AT TIMES.
AS FOR THE THURSDAY SYSTEM...NAM/ECMWF ARE MORE CONSERVATIVE WITH
QPF BUT IT DOES LOOK LIKE WE WILL SEE A WINTER MIX. AFTERNOON
TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE FREEZING ACROSS ALL OF NORTH TEXAS...SO
EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE ALMOST A HALF INCH OF SNOW FALL POSSIBLE IN
THE NORTHEAST...IT WILL MELT RATHER THAN ACCUMULATE. ISOLATED
TRAVEL PROBLEMS MAY OCCUR THURSDAY MORNING WHEN FREEZING
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED NORTH OF A LINE FROM LAMPASAS TO
CANTON...AND AGAIN AFTER MIDNIGHT THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNRISE
FRIDAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN BELOW NORMAL THROUGH FRIDAY...WITH
WIDESPREAD 50S RETURNING SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY. WITH LITTLE
MODEL CONSENSUS...HAVE KEPT LOW POPS FOR MONDAY TROUGH TUESDAY
MORNING AS ANOTHER UPPER TROF IS PROGGED INTO THE AREA.
