  1. Eh, those cells still look to be struggling on radar right now.
  2. No changes with the latest SPC Day 1 outlook...
  3. Weak forcing, although stuff is starting to become organized just north of the OFB.
  4. Not all 977mb lows are created equal, so that means nothing in isolation. See, for example, the Christmas eve storm which was nearly as strong but produced very underwhelmimg snowfall amounts for most. Temp profiles, storm track and location/residence/intensity of better lift/instability/moisture are the more relevant factors. That said, I'll eat crow if 12"+ amounts happen (not including any LES). I'd love for you all to get a big dog.
  5. But I will say, I'm seeing a lot more towering/billowing CU over the past half hour.
  6. Something has been trying to go up over Irving and Lewisville. It's struggling mightily though.
  7. The 18z HRRR is also stronger with the low, a bit warmer overall, and it backed off a bit with the snowfall amounts.
  8. Unless you're in TX and OK apparently, as of late...
  9. Latest radar is starting to show some percolation of additional cells along the residual otuflow boundary from yesterday that's bisecting DFW We'll see if they start to organize...
  10. I think that's the right move. Either that or issue an extremely large and marathon length Tornado Watch.
  11. It seems even the June 2019 Derecho was only Enhanced. It would be surprising to me if April 2011 was the last moderate risk.
  12. 12" isn't happening for DTW or anywhere. Even if mixing/dry slot issues don't occur, the models aren't overdoing QPF and there's TSSN, the poor ratios will see to that. 6-10" is a good bet though in the heaviest and most persistent banding. Which, given you're looking at convective snowfall rates, is not bad at all.
  13. Oh, and it's nice to finally have an event that impacts DFW at an ideal time with a relatively clean and uncapped warm sector. Since I moved here, most of the "better" events have either been messy (a ton of low clouds / WAA showers / drizzle with cool surface temps), had capping issues or had poor timing (late evening / early morning).
  14. Which is why the Lions/Eagles Snow Bowl in 2013 is perhaps my favorite Football game ever.
  15. I will say, however, clouds are gradually thinning here in the Metroplex with more sun coming through.
  16. There'a still a fair amount of CINH in place, so I'm not surprised to see the current warm front cells struggle.
