Texas Winter 2017-2018

What does Cmc run look like

[Longhornmaniac8]

Wow.

If that verified, that could be a pretty incredible snow event here in Austin. Will be watching it very closely over the next 48 hours to see how it evolves. I haven't been at this very long, but I have zero recollection of a skew-t looking like that at or inside 3 days. Goodness.

Sorry, I just joined yesterday. How do we upload a pic or gif?

Welcome to the forum Haris! It's great to see more fellow weather enthusiasts from the Austin metro area.

I can’t wait for the Euro run in a few minutes

Not to be a debby downer, but does it seem like the DFW area is going to get less than previously anticipated or likely not much at all? Or do we genuinely have a real shot this time at getting snow accumulations.

I keep coming back here and going to all the news weather sites. The locals here in Austin are really pushing the ice for Tuesday. Guess Monday will be nuts at the grocery stores!

You kidding me!? Tomorrow will be nuts. That's why I sent my wife today.

So maybe I am reading the models incorrectly but it looks like they are thinking midday Tuesday to sometime that night will be frozen something, then stay freezing till Wednesday sometime? Austin/ Round Rock

(I am so not looking forward to driving to work and back)

There are a number of snowfall maps in the previous few pages. Nearly on all guidance DFW gets wind driven snow. How much? It's ranged from 0.5" to 2-4" depending on what model and what location but no one knows for sure yet

It's actually been increasing over time. First it was nothing about early week, then maybe novelty flurries, then a dusting and now we have snow maps

Yeah, it will. But Monday will be just as crazy.

Winter alerts will likely go up across a huge chunk of the state tomorrow.

Euro is running, we should know pretty soon since it's not 10 days out

Given what the GFS had, I'm betting on a wetter run

[Ntxw]

Euro is coming in wetter for DFW with widespread 1" snowfall across the metroplex. Very cold.

It looks lot like the CMC with bullseye around Texarkana

Euro wetter for Austin, more precip. Even snow!

Yeah 0.2-0.3" of liquid qpf equivalent similar to DFW. 850mbs temps are real close on the Euro for Austin, maybe mix along with some snow.

Trends favoring us

[Ntxw]

Euro also went with GFS on Thursday with no phase of the vorticity keeping north and south apart so likely limited event on this run compared to previous

[wxman22]

Euro is also wetter for the Houston area showing snow. And it still shows a winter storm for south central and southeast Texas Thursday

The southern wave comes through S Texas and snows again in Austin. The snow capital of Texas with a mix in SA

Isn’t the Austin area long due for some snow though? I often hear everyone on here refer to them as the freezing drizzle capital of TX or something like that. I know they got some back in early December, but before that when was the last time they actually had measurable snowfall?
