Short range models brings it out the next 24-36 hours for maybe some light snow or flurries. Nothing too significant.

Re: Texas Winter 2010-2011
I love the cold, but even I thought I was going to be freaking freezing out there today but really though it doesn't feel that bad to me. It certainly did earlier when the sleet was pounding my face.
I just went out for 10 minutes or so. Maybe you need to stay out a little longer to get really cold.

All models are a little wetter...especially with their 700MB RH's. NAM is much wetter...especially with QPF and snow totals to the E and NE of HOU. GFS QPF went way up from 06z...with >.1" now over all of coastal SE TX. 06z only had .01-.09 over that area...with most of it being in the .01/trace category.
When you say E & NE of Houston would Tyler be to far north for this event Friday?
If the wetter models are right...Tyler could get some trace amounts. Th moisture at 700mb reaches up into NE TX by Friday morning.

Wouldn't expect much of anything around here on Friday. Maybe some flurries.

Latest from Lower Colorado River Authority's meteorologist (LCRA). I should get an update from the TX SOC later today and if it is interesting I will post.
You guys are really teaching me a lot. Thanks
The much anticipated arctic cold front definitely came through with a bang last night and early this morning. Strong winds associated with a line of thunderstorms produced a wind gust to 70 mph just north of Pflugerville, near Austin at 3:15 am. A 60 mph wind gust was measured at the Fredericksburg Airport at 2:10 am. And Austin-Bergstrom international airport measured a wind gust to 52 mph at 3:53 am. There are reports of considerable wind-related damage across the city of Burnet. Some roofs were blown off, trees down and power lines are down.
Late this morning, strong winds associated with the arctic high pressure system building into Texas were occurring across the entire region. Wind speeds were generally between 20 and 30 mph with wind gusts close to 40 mph. Expect similar strong winds continue this afternoon and through tonight.
Late this morning, the cold front which brought us the storms and colder temperatures had pushed east into Louisiana and south of Brownsville. All of the significant precipitation had ended across our region and has moved well off to the east. A few snow flurries were being observed across the northern Hill Country between San Angelo, Brownwood and Llano. But this activity should diminish by mid afternoon.
Of course, the big news today is the very cold temperatures. A massive dome of arctic high pressure located over the northern Rockies is sinking south into Texas, bringing very cold air. Late morning temperatures included the middle and upper teens across the northern Hill Country, the low 20s across the central Hill Country, the upper 20s to low 30s across Central Texas and the mid to upper 30s across the coastal plains region. I don’t expect a warm up of more than a couple of degrees this afternoon. Clouds will slowly clear and the sky should become partly cloudy by mid to late afternoon.
Partly cloudy, windy and very cold weather will follow tonight. Lows Wednesday morning will include the upper single digits across the northern Hill Country, the low teens across the rest of the Hill Country, the middle and upper teens across the Austin and Central Texas area and the upper teens to low 20s across the coastal plains.
Wednesday’s weather will be partly cloudy, breezy and very cold. Wind speeds should be strong but not quite as strong as today, generally in the range of 15 to 20 mph. For the Hill Country and most of Central Texas, the temperature is not expected to rise above freezing. High temperatures will include the mid and upper 20s Hill Country, near 30-33 degrees central Texas and middle 30s coastal plains.
The coldest temperatures of the week look to occur Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Despite a partly to mostly cloudy sky, readings will be some of the coldest our area has seen in many years. Lows Thursday morning will again be in the upper single digits across the northern Hill Country, the low teens across the rest of the Hill Country, the middle teens across Central Texas and the upper teens to 20 degrees coastal plains.
Another trough of low pressure pushing south across the Rockies is forecast to reach northern Mexico on Thursday, then turn northeast across central Texas on Friday. Clouds will increase and the sky will become mostly cloudy ahead of this system on Thursday. The weather will be dry but cold with high temperatures ranging from the upper 20s to 30 degrees across the Hill Country to the mid 30s across Central Texas to the upper 30s toward the coast. Lows Friday morning will include the middle teens Hill Country, upper teens to low 20s central and low 20s coastal plains.
Forecasters continue to watch for potential weather developments with the trough of low pressure when it moves across Texas late Thursday into Friday. Today’s forecast data still shows the possible development of some snow flurries across the area stretching from the Interstate 35 corridor east to the coast. But this morning’s data is looking a little drier compared to Monday’s data. Nevertheless, I do believe parts of Central Texas could see a light dusting of snow late Thursday night into Friday morning. For the Interstate 10 corridor and areas south, the snow is expected to be a bit heavier and light accumulations to around an inch will be possible. The threat for snow should end from west to east Friday afternoon. Friday’s temperature will be a little warmer, with readings reaching near 40 degrees. I expect little to no snow across the Hill Country region.
Sunny and warmer weather will develop this weekend as the arctic high pressure finally begins moving off to the east. High temperatures Saturday will be in the low and mid 50s, warming to around 60-62 degrees on Sunday. But this warm up will only be temporary. Another strong cold front is expected to push through the area next Tuesday with colder temperatures lasting through the second half of next week.

It was 19F at my house. It did a real number on my fig tree. I have it wrapped tight with 2 100 W bulbs inside the cage. Will hope for the best with the other trees.

Re: Texas Winter 2010-2011
Woo think I got a good dusting of snow from all this light snow/flurry action lol. Cool video iorange55! That wind sure was wicked at the height of it.
Avoid this area.
Also anyone with plans to the fair park events for superbowl this week.
Avoid this area.
DALLAS - Nearly 20 semi trucks got stuck in the same spot on icy Interstate 35 on Tuesday, shutting down the roadway.
Several of the vehicles had jackknifed, while others were simply stuck on the slick road or blocked by incapacitated big rigs ahead of them.
The massive backup happened sometime before 10 a.m. in both the northbound and southbound lanes of I-35 at Pleasant Run, near the Desoto/Lancaster line. Semi also clogged teh service roads flanking the freeway.
Also anyone with plans to the fair park events for superbowl this week.
DALLAS - A giant tent at Fair Park meant to house Super Bowl -related events has collapsed because of today's winter storm.
