Texas Spring 2018

[jasons2k]

I'm glad to see some folks have had some rain this month. I have not had a drop since April 22nd. Seeing places like West Central Texas and the Hill Country get generous rains while we are persistently capped is a bit like living in bizarro world. At this rate, I may finish the month of May without a single drop. I don't think that's ever happened, not even in 2011. Just crazy if you ask me.

Correction: I did have some rain on May 5th. I forgot about that...so it wasn't that impressive...

Might as well start the Summer thread now.

Yeah! Regardless if I dont see any rains for the rest of the month, I'll still have 4" in the ol' bucket. But areas in SE TX havent seen a TRACE! And those areas are a lot WETTER (historically) in general

Go! Go! Go!

I'll believe it when I see it

Yeah I’m in southeast TX in the Wharton/El Campo area which is one hour southwest of Houston and we haven’t had any measurable rain here in about a month or so. I believe we’re in moderate drought now.

Sounds so good to finally hear thunder.

Looks like Collin, Rockwall and eastern Dallas counties were the winners last night. I don't remember any of the CAMs getting storms that far east. Storms moved in faster than anticipated and probably just beat the increasing nocturnal CI.

We had 0.40" in my hood in Rockwall. Pleasantly surprised to be awakened to lightning and thunder.

Maybe Sunday and Monday?
Stalled front, then death ridge takes over again.

The euro has trended significantly wetter for Sunday and Monday last minute . Shows .5-1” . The ridge is trending weaker . Gfs shows some and NAM . This would be great

Where did you find that graphic? Or did you make it?

It’s the euro model . And from weatherbell

The GFS has west Texas as the rainfall winner, with holes around my area, southeast Texas, and the RGV.

I like it. I like how they label the map with the amounts. On the GFS, you have to look to the side and figure out which color is what.

Looks like DFW hit 95 today, earlier in the week 100 looked possible. Small victories, I guess.

Forecast looks a tad cooler Sun and Mon (still above avg) with some chances for rain. Still in a mode of will believe it when it happens, west Texas I think more favored yet. Then seasonably hot temps again second half of next week. Rinse, repeat of this past week. May is now running 5F above at DFW which ties 2010 for 10th warmest on average thus far. Complete reversal from April.
