Re: Texas Summer 2018
We got 1/2 inch last week so not much to speak of but we'll take anything now.
Our friends nearby have a rain water collection system and are having water delivered for the 4th time this summer - first time they've needed delivery since they put it in six years ago.
If we go into fall and winter with not much precip it's not going to be good. At least it looks like they backed off some of the highs slightly for next week, but I'm very much over summer.

Yeah, it usually takes El Nino like forcing and or +PMM/PDO to put something that survives the path into Hawaii. A very warm central Pacific helps. Regardless of what the Ocean reading is we are very much feeling the coupling in the atmosphere. A truly busy EPAC season is usually indicative of a favorable El Nino like state like 2014 and 2015. A modoki El Nino is in the works.

Re: Texas Summer 2018
Interesting blog Bob Rose posted about hurricanes in August. Mentioned it's possible we go the rest of August without hurricane development, but it doesn't mean we're off the hook after August. Anyway. Most exciting thing going on during these never-ending hot and dry, periodic rain-teasing doldrums.

Re: Texas Summer 2018
Unfortunately, we are about to be reminded that summer is far from over the next 7 days or so. Crap.

Re: Texas Summer 2018
I haven't added the year to date total just yet for my location but I can tell you now that it's not a whole lot above 2011, luckily it should end up more but at least for my plot of ground, this will be a very much below normal year for rainfall unless we really get some hefty amounts before the end of the year.

Talk about bad luck any way you slice it for Hawaii. Just terrible.

Re: Texas Summer 2018
You could hear a pen drop that’s how quiet it is. There’s literally nothing to talk about. I keep checking the models with each passing run and for the past several days now they haven’t given me anything to be excited about. This weather pattern is absolutely boring and disgusting. I guess I should feel fortunate though because yesterday we had a very random pop up shower that literally formed one mile away from my house and slowly drifted my way and we ended up getting a quarter inch out of it. That’s the first rain we’ve had at my house here in the Wharton/El Campo area this month.

The last couple late afternoons/early evenings, we've had nearby heavy thundershowers. In fact driving home to the north early yesterday evening around 7:30-8:00, I could see dark clouds in the distance towards northern Williamson County, towards Florence. A lightning bolt came down in the distance once.
We cooled off about 15 degrees on Monday, but didn't cool off yesterday. We did not receive even one drop of rain, either day. I don't think it's going to even TEASE us again for a while, much less rain water from the sky.

To me the only thing worth talking about at this time is the wave about to move off the coast of Africa. The ridge is forecasted to be stout over the east coast in 10 days where both the Euro and GFS have this feature crossing the Florida Straits into the Gulf and the steering pattern would likely bring this towards the W Gulf, but that is a very long ways out. There’s just nothing else to really talk about imo.

Please let this be the last spell of heat for the summer. I think we are all ready for fall. #neversummer
