It also looks like models underestimated the cold air advection and are playing catch up since last night.If the trend continues i wouldn't be surprised to see Harris county added to the Winter Weather Advisory.
Could get interesting.

What about Beaumont? Os any of this gonna show in Beaumont. Our I-10 border is more north than Houstons I-10 border but we are a little more east. Hoping if Porter/Houston areas see anything we will too, but again thats if it decides to move a tad east. Any Pro ideas on what we could see? Esp with the further south movements ? TIA

It does not have to be freezing cold to have snow falling.

Probably mid afternoon ... 3-4 hours.

Nothing is going to get busy in here until then

I’m down to 35 degrees

That’s great. Sitting here at 43 in middle of urban heat core in Houston :(. Lots of time left though.

This is from my old Texas Weather book. The caption reads “Snowfall totals (inches) for January 8 - 11, 1973.

(might need to click the thumbnail to see it horizontal)

The main event wont start until late afternoon through the night.When the trowel or wrap around moisture becomes enhanced with cold air advection filtering in at the same time. The HRRR has been consistent since last night on showing this,that is also the time when the precip may become heavy at times.

Alright on the road to CS now. May target Hearne and snook to avoid heat island.

Be safe. I think it's so windy the heat island effect won't matter.

This is turning into a Texas version of a nor-easter. I'm pretty confident we're gonna see some bursts of snow later that will surprise some people.

Love all the purple, and can’t help but notice that bit of blue trailing off to the SW of Harris County. Maybe it can hold together all the way to Houston.
