HRRR Experimental and Operational runs have been pretty consistent as well in showing heavier snow and ice accumulations across the state.

We will know a lot more in a couple hours based on how much precip forms along the Red River.

Freeze line following Red River, Relative to Dallas. To the west its further south and as you can imagine to the east of here its a little further north.

I definitely have some sort of precip, but it doesn't really look like snow. It's pretty dark out there though, so it's kind of hard to tell.

:froze: :cold: Whats up winter weather friends. It is 36 degrees and dropping quite fast here in Abilene. Not expecting as much as east and south Texas but we are under a WWA until noon tomorrow. Currently nothing falling here yet. Expecting about quarter inch maybe sleet/snow. Will chime in and keep up with this event from our viewing area. :cold: :froze:

South Texas Storms wrote:These bust talks before events are even forecast to start are getting rediculous. If there's no snow on the radar in 6 hours, then you can call it a bust. There's at least a slight chance that the Dallas area could get over 1 inch of snow tonight. Better chances as you head south and east across central and east TX. Major travel issues likely in SA, Austin, and at least the northside of Houston tomorrow.


It's as bad as the hurricane busts and cancels. Then Harvey devastated the state.


Exactly my town of Lumberton was literally an island during Harvey. No way in and no way out. Back to snow.

Watch the band of precip to your south. They are moving N/NE and expanding, it's overrunning the front and behind. Once that meets up with the 0C 850mb temp, game on

It does look like a 'boundary' of sorts might be setting up. Might split Dallas/Fort Worth right in half. Of course, might be more development, if HRRR is correct, to the north. That should happen in an hour or so now.

If it overruns the front, does that mean more precip?

Hey, folks. Sorry I haven't been able to play this year. Just super busy. PortA, that snow you got was my doing. wxman57, sorry for the winter of your discontent, but, hey, it's our turn... 8-)

32° and very light snow in Sherman with no returns visible. Extremely light. Excruciatingly light. But, it's snowing. :cold:
