Wundermaps on Weather Underground provides personal weather station information that updates "live". It's a helpful tool to monitor wind shifts and temperatures.
Cool. Thanks Srain!

The storm is still there its just sleet instead of snow now,as the ICON on tropical tidbits doesn't show sleet or freezing for some reason.The ICON is decently warmer though, it seem the models are starting to converge.

Too soon to put a lot of stock in individual model swings. We're seeing big differences among even hi-res short-range models that tend to do "better" in these setups. Many more swings are likely going forward; both with the duration and magnitude of cold air, as well as timing and placement of approaching disturbances.

GFS has been getting slightly more aggressive with each model run on next weeks storm.

I’m tracking the front with Hi-Res visible satellite images. It shows-up nicely on Satellite.

One other thing about the this morning’s loop is you can see the smokestacks near the ship channel. But there is a bright white one also right near Jersey Village (not sure what that is). You can also see a few white dots with plumes in the counties to the SW as well.

I knew it. Seasonal cold on the way.

Thanks for the explanation you would think that by now that most on this board should know not to do that.

DFW wasn’t supposed to get below freezing until late this week.

Get ready for the models to overshoot temps.
Looks likes it moving a little faster than the models predicted also
That's typically for models to undersell speed and depth of the cold. FWIW, from my seat the Canadian has had the best track record this winter.

Looks like its just a tad north of Austin but ya I could see it getting here 2 days earlier then what theu said on tv about it coming in Thursday
Look at the temperature in College Station right now and then just look a few miles south of there in Navasota.
Today had been predicted to be in the mid 70s. lol

Although I do find it strange that the GFS was so cold with "only" a 1047 mb high over the northern plains. Seems lightweight. We've pushed our daytime highs into the low to mid 30s for the weekend and Monday but that may be too bullish. May have to inch them back up.
Like Blake said The Nam is a good positive model

Canadian still bringing the cold and snow. 10°F, 10°F, and 6°F lows on consecutive nights.
