Same here … NWS Austin/San Antonio is all in on the NAM. Ice storm cometh (at least for the Hill Country)!

Now that’s what you call an About Face! Would expect WSWs to be issued at some point today…a blend of short range guidance looks like best combo of sub freezing temps and highest QPF puts DFW right in the bullseye unfortunately. Likely meeting Ice Storm Warning criteria it appears

I'm still holding out hope for sleet or snow as the week progresses. Also I anticipate being home with my daughter Tuesday and Wednesday due to school cancellations.

Both NAM and HRRR would be bad scenarios especially during rush hour. Not many people likely expecting it too. It’s going to get bad and fast

Ice storm warning. It’s 39 at my place already apparently about to start getting some rain. Wind howling good.

Yeah the front is blowing through. Got cloudy quick with stong north wind.

Drizzle City up here in Sherman. Kinda surprised it’s starting so soon.

Misting like crazy here, I'm very worried about it since it's 22°F outside

As you should be that’s not a good sign.
Temps are dropping fast here. Very curious to see if we reach freezing or it hovers in the mid 30s until tonight.

That’s what I was thinking too. Where are you located?

I’m in Brock, SW Parker county.

Front has cleared DFW and we will fall the rest of today towards freezing. Most of Oklahoma is in the low to mid 20s and freezing from WF to Abilene or just slightly east of there.

NAM has a little deeper cold and sleet for the metroplex while frzng rain threat increases from Waco to Austin.

[Ralph's Weather]

NBM has gone wild. 2.5" ice for Abilene, 1" for NW DFW, 0.5" for DFW and 0.25" east of DFW.

[Iceresistance]

I can confirm that I have a thin glaze of Ice outside right now.

NBM has gone wild. 2.5" ice for Abilene, 1" for NW DFW, 0.5" for DFW and 0.25" east of DFW.

Can I see it?

[txtwister78]

Trends are definitely not headed in the right direction based on latest runs of both HRRR extended and NBM from the HC into northern sections of TX.

Being potential impacts and also multi-day and little lead time at this juncture, WSWs now would be a wise decision. Last thing you want is a bunch of folks going out to prepare for it tomorrow.

Coverage of any ice from WPC probability.

Yep, most friends/family have no clue about this due to the botched forecasts from local outlets and sorry, but even NWS office. Most people just glance at a forecast over the next 5 days and move on…when you put out a mid 50s forecast for Monday-Wednesday people anchor it and never look back. A mid 30s with possible frozen precip gets their attention and people pay attention more regularly.

Unfortunately it wasn’t done until now, so agreed get the word out quickly/WSW asap is best course IMO
