Sunday has been the suggested day of reckoning since day one. I see no reason why that would not still hold true. However, we have had "same day" changes, better known as "now casting, many times in the past.
Many of you may have noticed today how the coverage for Texas has been pushing east and south.. We have three more days until the event is supposed to begin.
Here is to a positive outlook Sunday evening.
January 2025

I’ve lived in Houston 47 years, and in all my life I’ve never seen this much consensus among local pro mets about snow in the city. It’s coming, folks!

Herzog’s update talked about 1960 being last measurable snowfall, other than 2004. I remember in early 1970s a decent snow for Houston. I think it’s by profile picture.

NWS has raised my chances of winter precipitation to 90%. That sure sounds promising. Things appear to really be coming together this time.
However, I've lived here 62 years and have seen things bottom out the absolute day of the event. Remember the previous cold snap? Dallas got some snow. Oklahoma did as well. Kansas and points east got hit hard. We were nowhere near winter precipitation after all of the model runs and chatter.
Honestly, conditions are a bit different this time. It there ever were a time for current forecasts to come to pass...

A lot of snow for SETX. It seems to start as sleet for areas SW of Houston and the immediate coast, but quickly changes to all snow. I'm not the greatest at reading the models. Maybe someone can post a totals map.

GFS, EC, and NBM are trending colder for Houston with no warm nose aloft - heavier snow Tuesday. Workers have abandoned my two walls and are fleeing for their lives!

wxman57 regarding Angleton...
It's there at the start around 6pm tomorrow but gone after sunrise Tuesday. In all my 45 years in Houston, I've never seen such good support for heavy snow. That includes the 2004 Christmas miracle snow.
Overnight trends look good. I need to lookup our local criteria for a blizzard warning….
Edit: we won’t make the wind criteria

Sounds similar to the Dec 8, 2017 event here. We picked up 3-4" that day.

Anyone know what 1 model it is that is still showing the warm nose?
