0z GFS trended towards it. Dig and partial phase.

Dig this a little more and if the models are not catching the baja moisture plume then game

dunno if I'd consider it a major winter storm when its probably a couple inches max but any snow in November would be a win

Re: Texas Fall 2018
GFS now has it's snow axis over me. CMC has jumped way west the past few runs and has joined the Euro. This is going to be an Indiana storm before I know it lol. The FV3 will be interesting, it has be showing some big totals east of me. The GEFS has been similar. Don't want to see the bit totals over me right now, but I'd like to see it point that direction on Saturday lol.

It would be great to see snow before the winter months. After last year I'll be thankful for any bit of snow we get in NTX!

Re: Texas Fall 2018
I like what I'm seeing. The trend is in our favor. Maybe we can even get lucky with STJ moisture. This could be an active weekend of model watching.

Even if it doesn't snow, the cold is there early. It will feel great! Enough of the warm Falls.
I am definitely ready to start busting into the rick of oak I just stocked up on!

Re: Texas Fall 2018
As an anti-hype exercise in these situations I always ignore the ensembles that show snow for DFW and instead count the ensembles that show NO snow so I can temper my expectations.
10/20 ensembles show no snow... 50% have a snow chance

Re: Texas Fall 2018
The system early next week is very dynamic but it seems like we played this game a lot last year and always came up empty - positive tilted trough, big cold blast, models showing back end snow for DFW. Unless the trough orientation and timing changes, it will be very hard to get any snow in DFW. Temps are in the 40s and 50s when the best combo of moisture and lift moves across DFW, precipitation of any kind is limited, and then dry air crashes in. Only 1 Euro EPS member shows a setup that would allow for a system that would wrap significant precipitation back into the colder air producing snow for DFW.
