That shows 4 plus inches in metro Houston. Would indeed be historic.redneckweather wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2025 7:56 pm Just as I figured. The HRRR is the one to watch and it suppresses all the snow WAY south to coastal counties and wouldn’t be surprised on the next run that it sends it all offshore. Huge disappointment in the models giving everyone hope on a bunch of snow. Historic? Not even close. Can’t make this crap up.
Well. Damn.
I might drive down to the coastline then. One way or another

All, remember there are still more runs to go. I am not a " rah rah snow guy" ( lol), but one or two runs does not make a firm call. If I am HGX, I leave the forecast as it is. Most of the models are showing fair amounts of frozen precipitation in the Houston Metro area. I realize the mesocycle models are quite accurate, at times. Be patient and let the models run.

Jeff will adjust his forecast accordingly after seeing the latest short term models. At this point you can go ahead and throw out the GFS, CMC, Euro etc and concentrate on the short term models, specifically the HRRR. Not good at all if you are north of I-10 and maybe even a little south of that.

Well, I respectfully disagree. We are still 22 hours from the event. Many runs left. Patience is the key. As it has been stated, predicting frozen type precipitation is tricky.redneckweather wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2025 8:14 pm Jeff will adjust his forecast accordingly after seeing the latest short term models.

But we see this almost every year in some fashion. But since Wxman bought into i started to think maybe.redneckweather wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2025 7:56 pm Just as I figured.

Smh... just when you think everything finally lines up right , ...
Boom.
So how often is HRRR wrong?

Just wondering has this low pressure even formed yet, cause isn't the location of it Matter on where stuff will be?
Instead of banning Tik Tok maybe they should have banned weather models within 72hrs of an approaching winter weather event. Its just not healthy...

More times than you might think.
This is why freaking out with spurious model changes when initial conditions have not even been established yet is a waste of energy and time.

I don’t hug every model run, that would be rediculous but when you are within 24 hours of said event and the short term models are showing what they are showing, well, not good at all. This is just fact. Please come back here and tell me I am wrong after this STORM is over.
That would be on the level of 1895, 1960, and 2004. I am not suggesting it will happen again this week.txsnowmaker wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2025 8:05 pmThat shows 4 plus inches in metro Houston.
