I keep reading 3pm for fropa here. Does it look like it could come in earlier than that? Southern Kansas isn't that far.

That's a lot of very cold air not too far north of us all things considered

:double: also it's gotten noticeably darker here

Mighty cold wind chill map up north. Just thankful most of us further south will climb above freezing Wed & Thursday afternoon. Should limit some of the sting from this event and hopefully prevent a lot of pipes from busting not to mention keeping our grid stable courtesy of some late February sunshine.

It’s barely even gonna freeze where I’m at lol this front looks to lose its punch big time as it pushes through the state. Won’t really be a big deal down here.

Yep. The cold is going to moderate quickly as it pushes through Texas. Massive difference across the state. More so than usual.

I think 1-3pm is a good range. To really bust you'd have to look at an early morning passage.

Interesting to see the first sub-freezing temps on OK Mesonet are oozing in from the NE rather than the NW. Tulsa may drop below freezing before some parts of the OK panhandle do. Don't see that happen very much with arctic air.

There is already a cold air mass in place to the NE being reinforced. We will see the real surge come down the Panhandle, western OK, and NW Texas very quickly.

Is it because of lack of Snow cover?

No, Wxman57's Wall and Global Warming.

Yep, interesting to have it warmer in Amarillo than Beaumont right now. That changes in the next few minutes though.

Supposedly it’s hard to get cold deep into Texas mid to late February, but idk how much of that is true because I’ve gotten down to 19°F before in early March. That was 23 years ago though lol

I also got down to 14°F in mid Feb 2021.

I’m going to assume it’s due to lack of ridge to the east and location of HP. (I’m not a meteorologist so probably wrong lol)

Yeah it's kind of weird up here actually to see OKC barely get any snow and us possibly cash in... Usually it's both of us or neither pretty much

If the forecast holds up anyway

I'm guessing that's why it's not as good in Texas because it's not even as good on the snow front down in OKC and points southwest especially

Like there's still a big question about if there's a very sharp gradient nearby tomorrow

Surprise surprise! Big changes on the latest Hi-Res models, much quicker with front and freezing line tomorrow ….sleet/frz rain becoming more of a possibility on the back in of the precip across North Texas now.

Here is the temp change from prior run at 7pm tomorrow ….

Where are you seeing the precip change? That's only a temperature map or are you just projecting because the temperature will be lower that they'll be more frozen and that the precipitation is still forecast to be there?

The NAM has a bit of precip along and just behind the front. If the cold outruns it then there could be a band of sleet and maybe snow mix.

Just yesterday most of the mesoscale models had the freezing line not getting here until around 12 pm. The latest runs now have the freezing line reaching Wichita Falls around 7-8 am now. With a quick changeover to frozen precip occurring almost as soon as the precipitation starts in the morning.

Also see the NAM has some frozen stuff showing up Friday as well.
