Rain-snow line for Thursday's front and storms is about I-35 on GFS and CMC and drifting in the models slightly east-southeastward. Stay tuned!

11 inches of snow on GFS for Granbury. It's going to be in the 30s all day here in CLL thrusday.

It might as well snow because cold rain does suck anyway. C'mon down! :lol:

Yep - we're right on the edge. There's enough energy and cold air. Got to get the timing just right. 8-)

You can have it. We don’t want that freezing rain/ice mess down in Houston.

Bad trends for Monday. Was really wanting some good rain and storms. Looks to be more towards Victoria now.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL DEVELOPING OVER
SOUTHEAST TEXAS ON MONDAY...

21Z Update...

A rather potent mid level trough coupled with a strong southerly
jet bringing in plenty of Gulf moisture along with modest
instability will lead to scattered flash flooding for portions of
southeast TX, especially the more urbanized locations like
Houston. Models have trended upwards from the previous issuance
with latest guidance showing 3-5" of QPF for the period most of
which falls within those first 12hrs. As the previous forecast
discussion mentioned, the lower FFG may help delay the flooding,
but AHPS does show areas of well above normal precipitation over
the past few weeks. Models reach 1-2"/hr rates at times which if
produced over the same areas, could lead to scattered flash
flooding. With this in mind, have opted to introduce a Slight Risk
for this area and expand the Marginal Risk area a bit in alignment
of latest forecast and model guidance.

I saw the NAM and HRRR have it more focused towards Victoria.
