Texas winter wx thread (2009-2010)

[WacoWx]

Does anyone have that animated winter weather radar site that was popular during Snowmagedon? I cant rmember the site.

It may be intellicast you're talking about. It's very good at pinpointing the rain\snow line.

Thats it. Thanks!

is it just me or does it look like that band southwest of abilene is moving northeast?

[WacoWx]

Abilene at 34 with a dewpoint of 27.

[WacoWx]

I know its probably verga at this point, but with precip moving in earlier than expected into Central Texas, is this going to allow for evap. cooling to take place earlier than sunrise?

[Weatherdude20]

Thats not virga.

[serenata09]

I think the band is moving due east and just elongating to the NW a bit.

Why would it be moving east or northeast? i thought it was supposed to be heading souteast?

[gofrogs2]

It is.

[WacoWx]

Not verga south of Brownwood?

[Weatherdude20]

Oh, sorry man, I was refering to the intense snow band in the Abilene area. Definatly virga out southwest of Brownwood.

[Tejas89]

That snowmass in the panhandle is tilting / building SE. I'm guessing that's the main batch for DFW the locals have been referring to for early tomorrow a.m.

Everything is looking on track IMO... system will start diving more and more southeast overnight.. Remember the center is still well into NM

[Storm Tracker SA-CS]

nederlander you think were still on track for getting 4 inches here in cs?

Here is a look at how things have progressed over the last 5 hours or so:

3:28pm CT


8:38pm CT


Pretty impressive increase in precipitation!

That band out in Abilene especially impressive. When the weather service says higher accumulations under a heavy band that's exactly what they mean for locally impressive amounts. Easily lay a coating to over an inch or more.

[TeamPlayersBlue]

from the looks of it dallas, that thick band over Amarillo is gonna break the record if it continues to slide your way... It needs to hold together though.

[Weatherdude20]

Ok this is about the snowband in the Abilene vicinity,(Sweetwater to Comanche) I am not concerned about the very very heavy snow anymore I am concerned about the expansion/building, of this band becoming more widespread. There is still HEAVY snow, in this band but that is not the main concern with it. the main concern is focusing/tracking it as it moves through Abilene and approaches our surronding areas.

[msstateguy83]

DONT anyone get to overly excited yet BUT i think this could be one of those "SHOCKER" situations
where ALOT of people could be shocked at what you wake up to in the am...

[hb905]

Where is this band over amarillo heading? Going to hit Dallas?

[iorange55]

We might need to calm down, lol. I just feel like we are setting ourselves up for disappointment. Especially being so lucky last time. It just seems impossible for anything even close to that to happen again.
