12Z GFS run is still dry for east and SE TX post-frontal. A little light precip for the hill country.

On the top, click "GFS". All the controls are on the left side. You'll see 3 hour time increments at the top-left. Green means it's in, red means it's not yet. Down the left side you can select what specific about the run you want to see, like Wind & Height, Temperature, Moisture, etc. Have fun!

Amounts appear light but duration of 18 hours for AUS would still mean societal chaos/traffic issues. Of course, the 12z NAM showed about 24 hours straight of light precip for AUS.

We've got a seat for you in the front row for tomorrow's press conference, wxman57! :wink:

We should be. I am looking at 12z GFS 3-hour accumulated snowfall off the WxBell site; I believe Wxman57 looks at the same model output.

@BigJoeBastardi: Think guidance not cold enough in Texas with arctic attack. Should be 5-9 lower than GFS 23 in DFW

As srainhoutx has noted to me, it's interesting to watch the 500mb flow pattern per the GFS through 96 hours. The model takes the shortwave up and over the ridge, brings it down the east side of the ridge/west side of the trough and then buries it underneath and relatively cuts it off offshore of California. If that does indeed happen, it is easy to understand why the GFS is on a drier trend. And it appears to be the same reason WHY the Euro is also relatively dry. But the NAM and short-range ensembles (SREF) do not take that approach and, thus, they appear much "wetter." They do not bury the upper-level energy beneath the West Coast ridge but instead move it through Texas.

Which model will be right? That's the $10,000 question at the moment.

He gets the best of us due to location. We are in Texas and Louisiana for the most part. 57 calls it as he sees it, which is normally too warm or dry for any winter fun down in these parts. Imagine if we all lived in Chicago or Boston. 57 would not know what hit him!!!
I do hope we can get some revenge at some point this winter and this week could be it!!!!

Glad to have you along ... and yes, it is all in good fun. Hopefully nobody gets too worked up over it.

Don't worry, we in Texas will live vicariously through you and your Florida folks come tropical weather season since we never seem to have any action on this end of the Gulf anymore.

A question for all. Has the NAM and GFS improved since 2009? I know it is yes, but by how much and can it be quantified?
