But also, I am a nerd who enjoys weather and by no means an expert at reading GFS or NAM. It'll be interesting either way.
My reading of the progression was that the upper-level low that would interact with the arctic air would be tracking West to East. Since the earlier NWS discussion talked about snow beginning in NW Houston on late Friday morning, that would make sense. The low would track over us by Friday afternoon/evening, as most of the snow tapered off in the Hill Country.
