Question - where can I get a good water vapor imagery loop?

Before it gets crazy, I want to take a moment to thank our Pros. As singlemom stated, you folks are 'rock stars' to many of our folks. Your presence, sensibility, awesome informative posts, and sound reasoning, means so much to our community. Thanks. Now, let it snow...

Agreed, and thank you Steve and Andrew for ya'lls knowledge and keeping this forum intact.

Looks like NW of Austin is starting to light up with some good snow showers... that stuff isn't moving our way but hopefully it does bode well for the energy potential of this system!

Yep I have friends in north Austin reporting snow falling. This is good news for everyone from central to SE TX hoping to see some snow tonight and tomorrow!

You wouldn't let me ... thankfully!

Still nothing at my house in southwest Travis County but it should only be a matter of minutes the way the radar is lighting up.

The ULL sure does appear to be kicking the crap out of that dry air now, and the dry air does not appear to be putting up much resistance. At least, that's what it looks like to my untrained eye.

[Texashawk]

Thanks! Looks like the north part of Texas is filling in rather nicely. Little worried about South Texas, though... still looks quite dry...

It's lighting up fast! Just an hour ago there was nothing. I'm also in SW Travis. Where abouts are you?

The Travis Country area off Southwest Parkway ... you?

It looks like things are moistening up nicely on radar locally.
