No moisture in north Texas to interact with low, so what will it produce with rain in morning

Seeing some reports of light snow flurries in the Dallas/Ft Worth and the San Angelo areas this morning as the cold pocket associated with the upper low continues to advance towards Central Texas. The Austin area on down toward I-10 may see some snow flurries this morning through about 10:00 AM as well. There may be a brief window for a few stray snow flurries or sleet across portions of SE Texas as water vapor imagery does show some colder cloud tops advancing our way from the West. That upper low/trough should move across SE Texas during the day and finally end any chance of moisture and finally begin to clear out this cloudy/wet weather in time for Thanksgiving. An area wide freeze is possible except for those near the Coast early Thanksgiving morning and a warming trend begins to end the month of November.

Morning e-mail from Jeff:
Upper level storm system currently over SC TX with the last well defined wave of rain moving along I-45 at the moment. Rainfall amounts have averaged 1-3 inches across the region since Sunday afternoon.
Special 09Z (300am) sounding was launched from the met group at Texas A&M and showed a roughly 3,000 ft warm layer above the surface which has helped keep most of the precipitation rain this morning. College Station did report light snow with a visibility of 4.0 miles around 600am. No other reporting sites have reported anything but rainfall this morning. Should see the actual light rain move out of the area in the next 1-2 hours, but some drizzle or flurries will continue into the early afternoon hours. Temperatures will struggle to get much above 40 degrees today with increased cold air advection and thick cloud cover. Winds have also increased this morning with gust at or above 30mph along the coast as the offshore surface low pressure system continues to deepen.
Skies finally clear out tonight into Wednesday while additional cold air flows southward into the region. Looks like we are sitting up for a good widespread freeze on Thanksgiving morning with model guidance showing lows ranging from 27 to 30 at BUSH IAH which mean many locations outside the urban heat island will be cooler. Will need a freeze warning for areas along and S of I-10 which have not frozen yet this fall. Could see up to 3-5 hours at or below freezing so sensitive plants will need protection. Still cool but mainly clear on Thanksgiving Day with highs in the upper 50’s with some high clouds.
Onshore flow resumes by Friday with moisture starting a slow increase. Should see lower clouds work into the region on Saturday, but any threat for rainfall will hold off until late Sunday.
Very long range models continue to suggest a significant arctic air intrusion toward the second week of December.

I'm about 3 miles to the east-northeast of that Dripping Springs report from broadcast media of snow flurries and I can tell you no snow flurries here. In fact, the overcast appears to be lightening some with a few peeks of the sun. But ... still windy and cold!
