WhirlingWx Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Even if, fingers crossed, the sun being out right now has no impact on the event, this is still painfully funny to look at... Pretty much the rest of the state socked in clouds, and then us (southern Oklahoma is also being bathed in sunshine though, FWIW) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking way ahead, end of 00z NAM just gave us all sleet/freezing rain for midweek storm, ugh. I'm not buying the second storm system somehow being a bigger snow-producer than this one for us in north Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive power outage if that verifies! What worries me even more is GFS is basically showing a same picture with CMC not too far off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raindancewx Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 We had thunder and lightning in Albuquerque tonight. Wasn't really in the forecast, even though it's pretty obvious the clash of the airmasses is pretty dynamic here. The models just don't have a good read on the setup even at this hour. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhirlingWx Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Looks like a little batch of wintry precip northwest of Waco, moving NNE. I'm not sure how dry we still are here in the atmosphere, but it can't hurt to have that move through and try to give us a few flakes, I suppose.

aggiegeog Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Another evening where we are below the forecasted low before midnight 22 now vs NWS forecast of 24. I be we get down into the upper teens or right at 20 as the precip moves in later tonight. The surface is not near as dry in E TX vs N TX with DPs in the upper 10s to 20s as you move SE. Temps and DPs in NW East Texas are lower than even the latest HRRR by 3 degrees and in SE East Texas temps and DPs are running a touch above the latest HRRR.

The surface is still pretty dry for N TX so doubt much of that batch makes it to the surface though it should help with top down moistening of the lower atmosphere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From reports I'm seeing it is sleeting and covering everything across DFW. And freezing rain in BCS and likely extending into W Houston. I don't expect any precip in Tyler until closer to sunrise though radar returns are popping up all over eastern Texas within the past hour.

Witness Protection Program Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Yes, I heard sleet for about a minute and then freezing rain ever since, here on the north side of DFW. This sucks, I don't want power outages. Edit: And now that I've posted, we've thankfully started getting swirling flakes instead of the freezing rain that was falling fast at a 45 degree angle. Starting to get a nice dusting on top of the glaze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwlee7 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Of course the nastiest days of the year are when I realize that my room humidifier in my guitar room needs a new filter. It wasn’t bad out there on the roads yet when I made the careful trip to Lowes but, it looks like it will be soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhirlingWx Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Measured roughly 0.25" of snow at my house... maybe the initial band "underperformed" slightly (I saw forecasts and model runs around a max of one inch) but it's still snowing lightly and so I'm pretty confident that we'll get a good deal more. Either way, this is the most I can remember at my house for the past 4 years haha (I don't think I'm missing any events) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the longest stretch in weather record history. There has been no significant icing (0.25 or greater) in that time either. So, you are not missing any events. Though we still have a ways to go, but confident we will break the snow/ice drought before all said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raindancewx Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 The models had 0.35-0.55" for Albuquerque in liquid equivalent with the system, and the actuals came in around 0.10-0.25" from I can see. I had about 2.0 inches of snow with temperatures in the 15-25 range generally. The airport legitimately had 0.18" fall as snow with 60 mph winds, but I had no wind at my house, which is unusual for an east-wind snow event here. This is my way of saying we probably sent you some desert-enhanced dryness with the Arctic air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
