Yep, Euro has axis from DFW to Wichita Falls while GFS is Red River north. It's been very difficult to bet against the GFS these days!

Yeah, one has to give they handle the shortwave differently. I'm rooting for the Euro!

It's just sad how all of the models are still indicating that central Texas won't even get .50 inch of rain from the strong system early next week. It's going too far north to give us much needed heavy rainfall. Yes, I really enjoyed the winter precip event last week, but 2014 is starting awfully dry around here.

What is the timing of the event? I'm traveling from NOLA to DFW by car on Sunday. Expect to be back in the metroplex around 7:00 pm.

The 12z Euro is still showing snow as far south as SA with the system towards the end of next week. It's been pretty consistent so far.

Has bulk of precip moving through the Metroplex late morning Sunday into early afternoon, precip quickly moves out of the area before 6 pm....

Also, very intriguing battle between the Euro and GFS....Euro is still adamant about a big winter storm transversing the state late next week, bringing snow all the way close to the I-10 corridor while GFS has little if anything.

I like that. If we could stay below freezing for most of the week we could have a lot of snow on the ground. I foresee the potential for school cancellations next week. :wink: I sure hope this verifies though.

There is that upside down map again. Has it been drinking? :) Maybe Travis Herzog is onto something. Also, this is way early in the game...
