Airport weather warning just issued for DFW acknowledges potential for 4-5 inches if the moderate/heavy band moves over the airport. It also acknowledges the potential for 0.50"/hr liquid equivalent rates which would be fairly staggering snow rates. Seems like they might need to issue a warning as soon as they're sure where the heaviest band will set up.
This really has the feel of something significant for DFW. Good luck to you guys down in Austin. I hope you can get in on the action also!

I would agree. If it continues its trajectory, the center will pass just south of El Paso.

Could the system digging further southeast indicate that its taking on more of a neutral to negative tilt than expected?
That's how it seems to me, it looks like it's nudging to the south.
I don't see how Austin will be dry slotted, not with how far south the radar returns are,
Unless the precip is moving northeast. Always seems to miss us. Hoping the low moves more south than the models have predicted but not getting my hopes up.

Any post should not be taken as a forecast. I am just an amateur living the dream.

Bands out west are starting to pick up with intensity. We are certainly off to a good start, but we have a long ways to go.

Hoping for a little snow at least up here. If not, Friday definitely looks promising.

You know, Feb 11 started out with a band that come up from the south and dumped a quick two inches overnight before the main storm even came out. Just advisories for 1-2 inches.

I would not be surprised if FW switched to winter storm warnings, I think it warrants it basically along interstate 20...

I can only hope some of that will nudge its way up to northern Grayson County!

That is true, if the main bulk of the precipitation moves to the northeast then it would skirt us but so far it looks like it's spreading east reaching Junction.

It's going to be more than that. That'd be my guess for snowfall totals in N and NE Texas.
