I flew back into DFW tonight from upstate New York (where it snowed lightly over the last couple of days).

So I've been out of the loop for a couple of days.

What's Wxman57's take on the storm at this point?

And if the storm does "surprise" Ft. Worth NWS on Tuesday with more intensity and precip type/amounts, then they could get HAMMERED in the media.

Why?

Tuesday is Super Bowl XLV Media Day.


Jerry Jones will just pay someone off to have it all changed so the weather will be nice. Nothing to see here, move along.

Yep, Euro is amped. It's giving DFW 1.07 liquid during transition of frozen air. Though not all of that is snow/sleet. 0.15 of it will be.

Hockey, lol, a bad winter storm this week is probably Jerry's worst nightmare right now. Could totally wreck his big party for the NFL...

What is the highest amount of liquid out of Texas and Oklahoma that the euro is showing?

You can use accuwx text output. It updates as the Euro rolls pretty much.

It's a paid service. There's many of them, accuwx is probably the easiest to use for the average joe, but costs 24ish a month I think?

It seems to me that the ULL is traveling more S than SE as of the last few frames. Anyone else notice that?

Complicated question. I'd say at least an inch, probably more verbatim. But trends tonight have been definitely colder.

I'm thinking 12z tomorrow will amp it up even a bit more as the vortmax continues to dig live. We'll see. Still need the NAM to go that way to feel safe.

Very interesting! Looks like the models have all trended to give us more winter precip. Long night tomorrow as someone has mentioned already. I'm looking forward to it!
