Through 11 am...light snow moving southeast out of West Texas will move across northern portions of Val Verde and Edwards counties. Due to very dry atmospheric conditions...only a light dusting of snow is possible.

Oh, don't worry ... I have zero expectations for snow or anything here in Austin today. I am content with my virga storm!![]()
I just posted the AFD update because I thought everyone would find it of interest. We have been talking for days about today and what the models were showing and, sure enough, it's playing out like we thought. Some light snow in west Texas and as the upper-level energy moved east and south, the drier dewpoints here would essentially evaporate what might fall.
Meanwhile, we have a good solid mid-level cloud deck here in Austin with a cold 25-degree temperature. After last night's game, somehow it feels even colder.

OT: Portastorm, I feel your pain.Thought the 'Horns did all they could do without Colt at the helm. Three minutes to go, down by three, and they had the ball with a chance to win. Proud of 'em, really proud of Colt for the way he handled himself and the things that he said after the game. Classy, classy kid - a real winner in my book. Hook 'em!
Now maybe we'll both get a snowstorm soon to ease our BCS title game pain!!
