It's a good trend yes, only one run on one model. Lets try and keep the others going in the same direction. Also would like for temps to be colder just in case

Deal Portastorm! Take all the cold you want.

DFW FOX 4 just now mentioned the lastest models, what we are talking about, showing a better snow chance for DFW area.

Re: Texas winter wx thread (2009-2010)
Any chance that the vertical profile for the Tyler area is going to be cold enough for snow during this Wed - Fri event?
My understanding is the further south the low tracks is the less precip that we get here but the colder the vertical profile is. The further north the low tracks the more precip but less colder air aloft, is that basically it or do I need more studying?

Hmmm..... So I guess the storm will pass right over DFW with nothing then dump off to the east. Seems to be what our NWS is thinking at the current time.

We are like the only spot with nothing regarding this upcoming storm...... http://www.weather.gov/
What is going on?

I agree with the moisture guys. Never underestimate the Sub tropical Jet. It's already kicking now and as it said in a previous post, it's strengthening that low in Cali as we speak

I have no idea HockeyTx82. Does anyone know who holds them accountable? Just another example of our tax money being put to good use.

they have 1-2 inches in their hazardous product and in the forecast. temperatures are forecasted to be near or above freezing so their will be no travel impacts. what do you want them to do? say all hell is going to break loose when no computer model currently says it will?
