Texas Winter 2010-2011

[Rgv20]

^ Wow winter storm warning for Brownsville?! What is their criteria for an advisory? Either this storm is really going to deliver or yikes.

Event having at least one hazard meeting or exceeding advisory criteria (below) for at least one of the following precipitation elements:

* Snow: ≥1", in 12 hours
* Sleet: ≥1/2", in 12 hours
* Ice: ≥1/8", no time requirement

Note: snow/sleet accumulation should cover bridges/overpasses

We are delicate to the cold weather.........

Thanks RV, I was thinking that the ice probably did it for the warning. You guys stay safe!

Mr Stingy GFS is about to initialize.

Is it possible that all of the state will be below freezing at the same time? How many times has that happened before?

I saw that happen last year in January, and at least one or two other times before that since I lived here in 2002.

Could we have it in the daylight hours tomorrow? I would think that was more rare.

for real you guys are depressing me

Why would you feel depressed? This has been the best prospects of snow for Houston in long time that's predicted well ahead of time.

but they are making me nervous with the negative chatter

I would really like to see the GFS put something together for next week / trend colder / more precip...

C'mon Waco...lets get lucky tomorrow!

For DFW it could be anything from one to two inches or less maybe more it all depends about how much moisture is available from the pacific. Less mostiure less acumm. more moisture more accum. It all depends. Let us see what this next round of models say. I like the way they are trending.

Ehh, the 00z GFS is pretty similar to the 18z...

Ehh, the 00z GFS is pretty similar to the 18z...

It does have a nice swath for the Brownsville/Corpus area! That should give verification for the winter storm warnings down there.

Mr No still stagnant.
