If you look down South west of San Antonio looks like that small spot might expand. I sure hope it does. Give san antonio and Austin some.

Lets not forget our Houston friends. Seeing some spots of convection going on W and N/NW of Houston. Any reports of falling precip that way?

I believe so! It just now blossomed so we'll see! It's just the beginning.


Also WWA all the way to the Decatur? This has changed a lot since yesterday.

It looks like the radar is filling in pretty quickly. Does anyone think it could make it up to DFW quicker than expected? It seems to be expanding towards us pretty fast.

With a 1-3 inch snow fall expected across the DFW metroplex, and a high of 25 forecasted for tomorrow, I have a hard time seeing the high of 42 forecasted for Saturday. I'm thinking more along the lines of getting into the low 30's, and lower 40's for Super Bowl Sunday. :froze:
