The episode as NWS FWD wrote it up.
A mix of freezing rain, sleet, and snow fell across mainly the northwestern counties of the CWA. Locations along and north of a Breckenridge to DFW line received from a Trace to 4 of ice, sleet, and snow accumulations. Most of the accumulations were due to snow, but locations in Cooke, Montague, Jack, and Young County received between 0.50-1.00 of sleet before transitioning to all snow. Roads were icy and there were several accidents but significant impacts were not experienced during this winter weather event.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Fort Worth, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Feb 2, 4:42 AM CST, 48 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX 442 AM CST SUN FEB 2 2014 .DISCUSSION... EARLY MORNING WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWED A STRONG SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER THE AZ/NM/MEXICO BORDER...MOVING EAST TOWARDS TEXAS. LARGE SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TROUGH WAS EVIDENT OVER FAR WEST TEXAS AND THE TX PANHANDLE WHERE A PLUME OF DEEP WATER VAPOR WAS OBSERVED DEVELOPING OUT AHEAD OF THE TROUGH. A 00Z UPPER AIR ANALYSIS REVEALED 500 MB TEMPERATURES OF -18 TO -20 DEG C JUST OUT AHEAD OF THE TROUGH. THIS COLD AIR ALOFT HAD LIKELY ADVECTED OVER LOCATIONS FROM MIDLAND TO LUBBOCK...LOWERING STABILITY ALOFT. THIS AREA CORRESPONDED WELL WITH OBSERVED LIGHTNING STRIKES IN CELLULAR CONVECTION OBSERVED ON REGIONAL RADARS EXTENDING FROM MIDLAND NORTHEAST TO CHILDRESS AT 0930Z. 00Z UPPER AIR ANALYSIS SHOWED THE 850 MB FREEZING LINE HOLDING UP IN THE TX PANHANDLE...WITH A WARM MOIST AIR MASS ALOFT OVER NORTH TEXAS AT 10 DEG C. THIS LINE HAD OBVIOUSLY SHIFTED SOUTH IN THE 10 HRS SINCE THE WEATHER BALLOON OBSERVATIONS AS LIGHT SNOW WAS OBSERVED AS FAR SOUTH AS SYNDER TX AT 0930Z. FIRST...A SUMMARY OF CHANGES TO THE PREVIOUS FORECAST: WENT AHEAD AND EXPANDED THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY SOUTH TO INCLUDE MILLS...HAMILTON...BOSQUE...HILL...ELLIS...AND KAUFMAN COUNTIES. THIS WAS DONE PRIMARILY DUE TO AN INCREASED THREAT OF FREEZING RAIN AND LIGHT ICE ACCUMULATIONS ON ELEVATED ROAD SURFACES THIS AFTERNOON. EXPECT THAT ALL WINTRY PRECIPITATION WILL REMAIN ALONG AND NORTHWEST OF A LINE FROM GOLDTHWAITE TO HILLSBORO TO COOPER. THIS IS AS FAR SOUTHEAST AS WE HAVE THE FREEZING LINE CREEPING THIS AFTERNOON WHILE PRECIPITATION IS STILL ACTIVE OVER THE REGION. TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY FALL BELOW FREEZING ACROSS ALL OF NORTH AND CENTRAL TEXAS TONIGHT...BUT PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO END ABRUPTLY LATE THIS AFTERNOON FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST AS A DRY SLOT KICKS OUT OVER THE REGION ALOFT. BEFORE THE DRY AIR ALOFT ARRIVES HOWEVER...CONFIDENCE REMAINS HIGH THAT WE WILL SEE ENOUGH WINTRY PRECIPITATION WHERE WE ALREADY HAD WINTRY WEATHER ADVISORIES OR A WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT. FOR LOCATIONS THAT WERE ALREADY INCLUDED IN WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES OR WARNINGS...THERE WERE ONLY MINOR CHANGES MADE TO THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. THE BIGGEST CHANGE OF NOTE WAS AN INCREASE IN THE AMOUNTS OF FREEZING RAIN/ICE ACCUMULATION FROM A FEW HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH TO JUST OVER A TENTH OF AN INCH IN A NARROW BAND JUST NORTHWEST OF THE SURFACE FREEZE LINE THIS AFTERNOON. THIS NARROW BAND OF ENHANCED ICE ACCUMULATION EXTENDS FROM COMANCHE TO DFW TO BONHAM. THE REASONS FOR THIS WILL BE DISCUSSED BELOW...BUT ICE ACCUMULATIONS ARE PRIMARILY EXPECTED TO REMAIN TIED TO ELEVATED SURFACES TODAY. MOST OF THE FREEZING RAIN IS EXPECTED TO FALL WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE 30-32 DEGREE F RANGE...MEANING THAT MOST OF THE RAIN WILL NOT BE COLD ENOUGH TO FREEZE ON CONTACT WITH THE RELATIVELY WARM GROUND/SOIL TEMPERATURES WE HAVE IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION. THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES OF COURSE AS THESE SURFACES WILL COOL BELOW FREEZING SOON AFTER THE AIR TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW FREEZING TODAY. THE FORECAST FOR SNOWFALL AMOUNTS AND LOCATIONS REMAINS LARGELY UNCHANGED. LOCATIONS ALONG AND NORTHWEST OF A BRECKENRIDGE TO SHERMAN LINE STILL LOOK TO BE THE MOST FAVORABLE LOCATIONS FOR 2-4 INCHES OF SNOW ACCUMULATION WITH SOME SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN MIXED IN. A WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THESE LOCATIONS AS A RESULT. IN BETWEEN THE DFW AREA...WHICH IS EXPECTED TO SEE MOSTLY FREEZING RAIN AND A LATE TRANSITION TO SLEET/SNOW AND THE WINTER STORM WARNING...THERE REMAINS A GREAT DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE EXACT AMOUNTS OF SNOW/SLEET/FREEZING RAIN AS THIS REPRESENTS THE LIKELY TRANSITION ZONE BETWEEN ALL 3 PRECIPITATION TYPES THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY. LEFT THESE AREAS IN AN ADVISORY FOR NOW AS CONFIDENCE IN RECEIVING AMOUNTS LARGE ENOUGH OF ANY INDIVIDUAL TYPE OF PRECIPITATION REMAINS LOW AT THIS TIME. SUFFICE TO SAY TRAVEL WILL STILL BE A PROBLEM FOR THESE LOCATIONS AS A MIXED BAG OF WINTRY WEATHER WILL LEAD TO SLICK ROADWAYS...ESPECIALLY ON BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES. SECOND...METEOROLOGICAL DISCUSSION REGARDING OUR WINTER WEATHER EVENT: THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO SWING NORTHEAST OVER THE REGION TODAY...SPREADING LARGE SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT OVER THE ENTIRE CWA THIS MORNING. AS MENTIONED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE DISCUSSION...DIFFERENTIAL ADVECTION WILL LIKELY LEAD TO A REDUCTION IN STABILITY ALOFT FROM WEST TO EAST THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY AS WELL. THIS POINT IN PARTICULAR GREATLY COMPLICATES THE FORECAST BECAUSE PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS BECOME MUCH MORE RESPONSIVE TO MESOSCALE FORCING AS OPPOSED TO SYNOPTIC SCALE CONSIDERATIONS. THIS WILL RESULT IN CELLULAR CONVECTION MIXED IN BROADER PRECIPITATION ZONES RESULTING IN LOCALLY ENHANCED PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS FROM WHAT IS REFLECTED IN MODEL GUIDANCE AND OUR OFFICIAL FORECAST. IN GENERAL...WE EXPECT LOW-LEVEL TEMPERATURES TO FALL THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST. WARM AIR ADVECTION WORKING AGAINST THE SOUTHWARD MOVING CANADIAN AIRMASS IS WHAT IS DRIVING ALL OF THE DIFFERENT PRECIPITATION TYPES ACROSS NORTH TEXAS TODAY. MODEL FORECAST SOUNDINGS CONSISTENTLY SHOW THAT AIR PARCELS LIFTED FROM AROUND THE 750 MB LEVEL HAVE POSITIVE CAPE ANYWHERE FROM 100 TO 250 J/KG WITH LITTLE TO NO CONVECTIVE INHIBITION PRESENT. THIS UPRIGHT INSTABILITY WILL RESULT IN EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE REGION FROM THIS MORNING THROUGH EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...SO WENT AHEAD WITH A MENTION OF ISOLATED THUNDER IN THE FORECAST AS CONFIDENCE IS ACTUALLY PRETTY HIGH IN THIS PANNING OUT. THE MORE IMPORTANT QUESTION IS: HOW WILL THIS AFFECT WINTER WEATHER IMPACTS ACROSS NORTH TEXAS TODAY? THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION IS TRICKY...HOWEVER IT SEEMS MOST LIKELY THAT EMBEDDED STORMS WILL NOT CHANGE IMPACTS MUCH FROM WHAT WERE ARE CURRENTLY HIGHLIGHTING IN OUR WINTER STORM WARNINGS AND WINTRY WEATHER ADVISORIES. ANY EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS IN THE WINTER STORM WARNING AREA WILL ONLY SERVE TO ENHANCE SNOWFALL AMOUNTS/ACCUMULATION. THESE ARE THE LOCATIONS WE ALREADY FEEL WILL SUFFER FROM THE WORST ROAD CONDITIONS...SO ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL WILL ONLY EXACERBATE DETERIORATING ROAD CONDITIONS. WHILE THIS IS NOT GOOD NEWS...A WINTER STORM WARNING IS STILL THE MOST APPROPRIATE WAY TO ADDRESS THESE IMPACTS AND THAT WILL NOT CHANGE WITH ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL. IF WE GET THUNDERSTORMS ALONG A COMANCHE TO DFW TO BONHAM LINE...WHERE WE EXPECT A TENTH OF AN INCH OF FREEZING RAIN...THIS WILL ONLY MAKE FREEZING RAIN FALL FASTER ACROSS THE AREA. WHILE THIS SOUNDS REALLY BAD...ITS NOT OBVIOUS THAT THIS WILL RESULT IN ADDITIONAL ICE ACCUMULATION. HEAVIER PRECIPITATION RATES WILL LIKELY JUST CAUSE MORE OF THE PRECIPITATION TO RUN OFF AREA ROADWAYS...AS LONG AS TEMPERATURES REMAIN IN THE 30 O 32 DEGREE F RANGE. NOW THIS POINT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT...IF TEMPERATURES WERE TO FALL INTO THE 20S WITH ENHANCED FREEZING RAIN RATES...WE WOULD BE IN BIG TROUBLE AS ICE WOULD ACCUMULATE VERY RAPIDLY ON AREA ROADWAYS. HOWEVER...AT THIS TIME NEARLY ALL AVAILABLE GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN IN THIS 30 TO 32 DEGREE RANGE OVER THE DFW AREA WHILE MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION IS FALLING. OBVIOUSLY...WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH THIS VERY CLOSELY THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY. ONCE AGAIN FOR THOSE COUNTIES IN BETWEEN DFW AND THE WINTER STORM WARNING...THIS IS WHERE THUNDERSTORMS COULD RESULT IN THE GREATEST DEVIATION FROM THE CURRENT FORECAST. EMBEDDED STORMS NOT ONLY ENHANCE PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS/RATES...BUT THEY ALSO TEND TO COOL THE ATMOSPHERE THROUGH THE DEPTH OF THEIR UPDRAFT. THIS MAY ACTUALLY RESULT IN A COMPLETE CHANGE OVER IN PRECIPITATION TYPE NEAR THE PRECIPITATION TYPE RESULTING IN A QUICK CHANGE OVER FROM FREEZING RAIN TO MODERATE TO HEAVY SLEET. WE WILL WATCH FOR ANY PERSISTENT AREAS OF THUNDERSTORMS THAT MAY LINE UP IN THIS TRANSITION ZONE...AND MAY HAVE TO UPGRADE SOME OF THESE AREAS TO A WINTER STORM WARNING IF IT LOOKS LIKE A CHANGE IN PRECIPITATION TYPE WILL RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATION OF SLEET OR SNOW. THIS BRINGS US TO THE LEAST CERTAIN PORTION OF THE FORECAST WHICH IS THE VERTICAL THERMAL PROFILE. 00Z AND 06Z MODELS HAVE REALLY BEEN STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP WITH AN ACCURATE DEPICTION OF THE FREEZING LINE AT THE SURFACE. THE 00Z NAM WAS THE ONLY MODEL THAT HAD A GOOD HANDLE ON THE 06Z FREEZING LINE AT THE SURFACE AS EVERY OTHER MODEL THAT WAS LOOKED AT WAS ANYWHERE FROM 2-4 DEGREES TOO WARM. THEREFORE...THIS FORECAST FOR PRECIPITATION TYPE AND SURFACE TEMPERATURES IS HEAVILY WEIGHTED TOWARDS THE COOLER 00Z NAM. NOTABLY...THE 06Z RAP KEPT SURFACE TEMPERATURES ABOVE FREEZING ALL DAY ACROSS THE DFW AREA...SO THE EXACT FORECAST FOR PRECIPITATION TYPE REMAINS AN UNCERTAIN ONE AS OF THIS MORNING. MODELS /EVEN THE WARMEST ONES/ CONSISTENTLY SHOW THE VERTICAL THERMAL PROFILE WILL BE COLD ENOUGH FOR MAINLY SLEET AND SNOW WHERE WE CURRENTLY HAVE THE WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT...OR ALONG AND NORTHWEST OF A BRECKENRIDGE TO SHERMAN LINE. ALSO HAVE THE HIGHEST CONFIDENCE IN THE H850 WARM NOSE HOLDING IN PLACE WHILE SURFACE TEMPERATURES FALL BELOW FREEZING ALONG A COMANCHE TO DFW TO BONHAM LINE...WHICH IS WHERE WE HAVE OUR HIGHEST FREEZING RAIN/ICE ACCUMULATIONS FORECAST. AS MENTIONED A FEW TIMES ALREADY...IT IS IN BETWEEN THESE LOCATIONS THAT THE PRECIPITATION TYPE IS MOST UNCERTAIN. HAVE A WINTRY MIX FORECAST FOR THESE LOCATIONS DUE TO A VARYING DEPTH OF THE COLD AIR BASED ON YOUR FAVORITE MODEL OF CHOICE. IN SUMMARY: FORECAST PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS: 2-4 INCHES OF SNOW WITH LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS OF SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN ALONG AND NORTHWEST OF A BRECKENRIDGE TO SHERMAN LINE. ONE TENTH OF A INCH OF ICE ACCUMULATION...MAINLY RESTRICTED TO ELEVATED ROADWAYS...WITH LESS THAN A HALF INCH OF SNOW OR SLEET ACCUMULATION EXPECTED GENERALLY ALONG A COMANCHE TO DFW TO BONHAM LINE. IN BETWEEN DFW AND THE WINTER STORM WARNING...1-2 INCHES OF SNOW AND SLEET ACCUMULATION COMBINED...AND LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS OF FREEZING RAIN/ICE POSSIBLE. LIGHT ICE ACCUMULATIONS WILL EXTEND ALONG A GOLDTHWAITE TO HILLSBORO TO COOPER LINE. LITTLE TO NO ACCUMULATION OF SNOW OR SLEET IS EXPECTED FOR THESE LOCATIONS. TO THE SOUTHEAST OF A GOLDTHWAITE TO HILLSBORO TO COOPER LINE...PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN ALL LIQUID AT THIS TIME...SO NO WINTRY WEATHER IMPACTS ARE EXPECTED. NOTE: EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL RESULT IN LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS OF PRECIPITATION IN ALL OF THESE LOCATIONS. THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOST LIKELY FROM THIS MORNING THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. FOR THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT...A STRONG DRY SLOT IS EXPECTED TO BUILD OVER THE CWA FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST RESULTING IN AN ABRUPT END TO PRECIPITATION BY SUNSET. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO FALL BELOW FREEZING ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA OVERNIGHT...SO ANY WET ROADWAYS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO FREEZE INTO BLACK ICE. SUB-FREEZING TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT WILL PROLONG ANY HAZARDOUS ROAD CONDITIONS THAT DEVELOP DURING THE DAY TODAY ACROSS NORTH TEXAS. REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST...MADE NO CHANGES AT THIS TIME WITH ALL OF OUR FOCUS ON THE NEXT 24 HOURS. WIDESPREAD RAIN SHOWERS REMAIN ON TRACK MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING WITH LITTLE CHANCES OF FREEZING RAIN BASED ON 00Z AND 06Z MODEL DATA. ANOTHER WINTER STORM REMAINS ON TRACK TO IMPACT THE REGION FROM THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY...HOWEVER LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE HAS COME DOWN ON QPF AMOUNTS QUITE A BIT. WE WILL STILL HAVE TO WATCH THIS LATE WEEK STORM SYSTEM CLOSELY FOR POTENTIAL IMPACTS TO THE REGION...HOWEVER MODELS WERE AT LEAST TRENDING TOWARDS A LOWER IMPACT EVENT.
