Much colder aloft, any heavy precip temps will plummet. GFS surface reflection looks off!!!

Yeah 850mb temps are quite different between 18z and 12z much colder aloft. Windshield wipe :lol:. That's kind of what you want for a trend, you want cold 850mb temps, good vortmax, and saturated lower levels (not too cold and dry).

18z

12z

For comparison here was the 12z Euro for the same period.

Euro shows this scenario on 12Z quite well. Heavier precip pulls cold air aloft down to surface while light precip doesn’t.... it’s why snow accumulations are further south across central Texas even though North Texas gets precip, it’s just on the lighter side

I moved here in late 2014, so I had a couple of good snows, then zip. The way some of those set up was to give me good snow when people east got rain in Dallas, so I thought I was well-positioned in western Tarrant just west of 35, but ever since, that hasn't helped me. Lol. I was still far too east....or north when Waco or somebody else got it.

18z GFS-P is a big Oklahoma snowstorm. It looks like the 18z Euro EPS has more members with a snowstorm centered over N. TX vs. 12z. This is going to be a wild ride with multiple s/w crashing in under the block. We probably won't truly start to pin things down until the 1st one is clearing out (Wed/Thur) and the middle kicker is resolved.

Thursday evening should start to pin things down as our system is just coming onshore?

Man OKC has gotten almost a foot of snow this year...that’s more than DFW’s last 7 years combined. And if you only include the last 5 years, that’s almost a foot of snow more! :lol: I’d love to see this next system break that trend.
