AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX
1016 AM CST TUE FEB 23 2010

.DISCUSSION...
FORECAST STILL LOOKING GOOD. JUST A COUPLE OF SMALL TWEAKS TO THE
PACKAGE TO INCREASE RAINFALL QPF OVER THE COASTAL COUNTIES AND
INCREASE CLOUD COVER TODAY. TEMPERATURES IN THE NORTHWEST SHOULD
HAVE HIT THEIR HIGHS AND SHOULD BE A SLIDE DOWN FROM HERE AS THE
PRECIPITIATION (WHICH HAS SOME SLEET MIXED INTO IT) EXPANDS EAST.
HAVE ALREADY SEEN THE REPORT OF ONE HALF INCH OF SLEET/SNOW IN
PALESTINE AND 2" IN KILLEEN. THIS HEAIVER PRECIP/SNOW SHOULD START
TO SPREAD INTO THE NORTHWEST COUNTIES THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. DID
ADD THE MENTION OF SLEET TO THE PACKAGE TODAY.

REST OF THE PACKAGE LOOKS ON TRACK AND SO NO CHANGES

That looks like an excellent radar, however if accurate it doesn't appear that Frozen precip line is making much progress to the Southeast. The good thing is that moisture is increasing to our West/Northwest. Just praying it mixes in.

so dose that mean no mix for us just rain?

[redneckweather]

Got good snow mixing with sleet in Nacogdoches now. It looks like they will be in the frozen stuff for a good while today and into the evening!

[srainhoutx]

Light rain and a couple of small sleet pellets in NW Harris County now.

[Portastorm]

Downtown Austin, near the Capitol, around 10:30 am.

I was afraid that I would get up this morning to a change in the forecast and a possible bust. I am glad to see that there is a huge amount of moisture on its way!

It is dry here in San Jacinto county 20 miles due east of Lake Conroe but looks like it's coming

[rnmm]

Thank you all and I hope I didn't bother anyone with that question, just rather err on the side of caution

HGX has switched to the Marshall Palmer ZR 200 1.6 in anticipation of incoming event.

WELL it looks like it is our neighbors to our north that will have the fun this go around. still looking to me the snow line will not reach south of a sealy conroe jasper line. i do not expect any accumalating snow near ih10 or south. doubt we will see much snow or sleet if any. right now temps are running in the low to mid forties with dew point in upper 30's.

Really? I was just outside on campus and it was just rain.

[redneckweather]

Up to 43 degrees now in Conroe with a dp or 34. I'm thinking that should be it and the temp should start to SLOWLY drop.

[kayci]

Just a light misty rain in Texas City. *yuk*

[wxdata]

WOAI-TV San Antonio-
Moderate sleet falling downtown now, but again its melting on the ground, but bouncing off cars and such, its also raining lightly as well.

[CypressEmerald]
