We need that to trend at least another 50 miles south and I’ll be happy.

...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
MONDAY AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...Periods of snow, freezing rain, and sleet will impact
Southeast Texas. Snowfall amounts will total approximately 1-3"
with the highest totals falling north of the Houston metro.
Areas in and north of the Houston metro are also expected to
receive 0.1-0.25" of accumulating ice. Areas south of the
Houston metro, including the coast and barrier islands, may
receive ice amounts of 0.1" or less.

* WHERE...All of Southeast Texas.

* WHEN...Precipitation will begin on Sunday afternoon as mainly
rain, transitioning to sleet and freezing rain overnight and
becoming a mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain on Monday
morning. Precipitation will taper off by Monday evening.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

* A Winter Storm Watch means there is a potential for significant
snow...sleet...or ice accumulations that may impact travel.
Continue to monitor the latest forecasts.

* Travel will be severely impacted by hazardous icy and snowy road
conditions. Sporadic power outages will be a possibility. Pipes
and sprinkler systems may burst if not properly cared for in
advance. Do so now!

* You should plan to stay put for at least a day given where you
are Sunday night because travel may be extremely hazardous
Monday.

* Hypothermia will be a possibility for those not dressed
appropriately. Brutally cold wind chill readings of -10 to 10
degrees will be likely Monday through Tuesday morning.

* Remember the 4 P`s: pipes, people, pets and plants. In addition,
be aware of space heater dangers if not properly placed/used.

An old rule I used in the 80's and 90's growing-up: if it got to -40F in Montana, then we were in for a true blue norther. It hit -40F this morning.

Doesn’t seem like much of an event south of 10 with that wording.

Remember the current Watch is 48 hours ahead of the main Winter Storm. Expect fine tuning of the forecast up to when a Warning is issued. Do not discount the fact that the Watch is for the HGX forecast area including the Coast.
