Texas Winter 2024-2025

[rwfromkansas]

Down to 30 IMBY, so rapidly falling.

It's just a race of how far will it dry out before things can stick? Already seeing dry pavement in spots.

You can see the localized snow bands on this radar.

We've been getting some decent rain showers here in Austin and it looks like the front is about to move through the city soon. Are we expecting this rain to come to a screeching halt once it blows through? It seems like the temp is dropping like a rock right behind it. I love my moisture, however I hope things dry out before we hit freezing.

Snow still coming down good here. And accumulating fast!

Should be ok. Some models like the 3km NAM try to bring a little freezing drizzle in at midnight but NWS didn't mention it in their AFD so they don't seem to be too concerned. Would be very quick in duration though and wind should also help to minimize or dry whatever does manage to fall (If anything) but still something to keep an eye on just in case overnight into early morning hours.

The returns by WF, is that what might get DFW later on?

Its trying but it's a mighty struggle with the wind... Probably barely an inch here

Took a while but temps finally starting to free fall down to 25 IMBY now hit 32 around 1:45ish

I’m praying it pushes our way. My area is in a dry lull right now.

NWS DFW twitter mentioned possibly of LES this evening around area lakes.

SPC RAP based analysis has elevated CAPE around 500 J/Kg, not great, HRRR is between 500 and 1000J/Kg above the stable surface layer. Shear is 60 knots, not bad.

The storms approaching Houston from the SW may have small hail, which is as close to winter precip as we are likely to get. I can't post images from work. I can't see most images either.

If it does happen, it will be when the upper shortwave comes across and moistens the mid levels, then it's up to the wind blowing persistently near the surface.

Think we we get a warmup / thaw out for about a week after this Arctic blast , but already by day 9-10 on the GFS and ensembles, we see the EPO going negative again and the TPV setting up around hudson bay with a deep trough setting up over the central US, MJO going into 1-2-3 late february and first week of march, think it wont be until the 2nd half of march where spring takes hold, until then, Winter holds all the cards in the deck

One thing about the +PNA, it's hard to keep sustained warmth when flow is NW. We'll definitely get periods given it's late February climo but it may underachieve from the long range to medium range, until the next colder regime.

Down to 27 so getting into danger zone.

Just may not be wet enough.

[wxman22]

Still getting moderate snow here! The wonderful thing is that the snow will stick around for a few days.

That's a good thing. Hopefully it stays that way. Doesn't take much though.

Does the cold up there feel different from the cold down here?

Are we supposed to be getting more drizzle/misting tonight?
