WX201, that mid/upper level moisture is associated with that upper low over Mexico. There is a tap of Eastern Pacific moisture that is ejecting E into Texas. Sleet continues here in NW Harris County albeit light at this hour.

They appear to be right-side-up. Here's a graphic from my workstation. It's 24hr precip but really only covers about 12hrs as the precip is just reaching east TX. Values are in centimeters, so 5cm = 2", 15cm = 6", etc. The dark blue line is the surface freezing line.

So question...as that moves East, does it tap any additional Gulf moisture and deliver any additional precipitation? Or will the lower layers be to dry?

Looks like it will be to dry. I would love to see some surprises though

Radar returns showing a little building along I-10 and south to Victoria. I wonder if its making it to the ground.. but we arent in the clear yet. Will be light precip but I'd think all sleet/snow if it makes it this far. Dry air is sweeping in though.

In '73 it snowed three times in Houston, and not just small amounts. Each snow left enough on the ground to make snowmen and the first snowfall remained on the ground for several days. A series of wondrous events for an elementary school kid.

Looks like a tad more lift along the I-10 corridor out west moving this way - maybe some more flurries/sleet pellets...

Im sure its moving out now, but...ummm...NWS LCH just updated our forecast! Rest of today, tonight and tomorrow! I have a feeling they are looking at the majority of LA instead of our little section they forecast for. I was sure they were going to lower it now that the main event has passed. surprises? Maybe, maybe not.

Watching TV, and ch 2 came in with a winter weather report. Frank Billingsley said this is not over, clearing is not happening as was expected, so ice won't have an opportunity to melt from bridges and overpasses. Also said he won't be surprised if our winter weather advisory is extended beyond 4 pm.
