I see that when wxman runs his maps, they are all off of GFS data. Why is that wxman? I hardly ever see you post data off of other models. I'm guessing you like the GFS a lot more than others this time of year?

I'm not sure if surface temperatures will cool sufficiently to allow accumulation, or if the precipiation will be heavy enough, but I do think we stand a chance to see some snow tommorow night just as the precipiation ends and heads eastward.

This isn't really that much of a "suprise", as it is forecasters following an outlier model for whatever reason.

Update from HGX:

THE NORTHERN 1/3 OF THE AREA LATE THU NIGHT AND INTO FRI MORNING

I think the threat extends into the Metro area, but at least they are finally saying something.

The 12z shows the freezing line clearing the Houston area for hours 114-168. Unfortunately, I don't see that there is precip indicated anywhere nearby, at least in this model and in this run. Anyone seeing indications from other models/sources that they could be off regarding chances for precip during this timeframe next week?

It will be a dry, but cold, northerly flow during that time. The main focus for wintry precip around here will be tommorow evening through friday morning.

Thanks, Mr T. Will refocus on this week and hope for some flakes around here in the next day or two.

I think this forum is excellent and wanted to say thank you to all that in put, especially the promets.

I want snow!!!! I live in the northern part or Bryan, Texas (Hearn is about 15 miles northwest to us). Do we have any chance of seeing anything measureable about of this storm? Maybe a snow chant or dance would help?!!!!! Any input any of you have would be awsome as the anticipation is about to kill me.

He can't even access the site, which is leading me to believe it may be a virus or DNS problem for him. I'm heading to his house this afternoon with my IT briefcase to get him back on line. That's why the post from Christine Di Stadio if anyone else was having issues..

I thought that people in southeast Texas could have a chance at seeing some sleet or snow mixed in with the rain from this evening until roughly noon tomorrow and then form tomorrow evening until roughly noon friday, Mr. T?

Have him try google dns - 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

Also, run the flushdns command. I would also suggest spybot search and destroy, along with Eset nod32 antivirus.
Other than that, if there are many folks having trouble with this site, then I would suggest that srain's computer is fine.

'cuse the off subject, but I had him try the flushdns yesterday. Even had him change his DNS setting to OpenDNS to no avail. I'm taking my laptop to plug into his Uverse RG. That will tell me something right away.

Light sleet starting to fall here in downtown Austin. As Sgt. Schulz used to say on "Hogan's Heroes": "I saw it with my own two eyes!"

Where's Lucy? :mrgreen: S2K is down right now. Hope to have it back up ASAP!!
Sleet reports coming in from SW of Houston also. I've seen the discussions, etc. I'm still wondering if we're in for a surprise here and to our North and West.
