Texas Spring 2024

[jasons2k]

Showers already starting to fire again in SE Texas.

Still optimistic that San Antonio metro gets our rain later tonight (despite southern areas getting over an inch thus far). One thing that models have underdone today in our favor down in this area is surface temps. With the sun out this afternoon, temps are already pushing close to 80 and that should help with destabilization to support and maintain thunderstorms that most models develop off to our west/southwest tonight pushing into SA metro around midnight.

I’ll believe it when I see it. It’s been maddening watching everywhere around the southern hill country get rain but here. Hopefully tonight/tomorrow brings some good rainfall.

Hopefully, those storms developing across the river in Mexico will approach your region later tonight & early tomorrow morning and deliver some much-needed relief from the drought conditions...

About 3/4th's of an inch today at DFW airport which brings the total over 4.28" or so for March.

Which is well above normal. Also, DFW is up to 9.44" for the year or 2.32" above normal.

End of March looks to have some freeze potential for North Texas.

Much of the SA area picked up around 0.50-1.50 inch of rain last night. While it wasn't the 2-4 inches that the models were indicating, it is still appreciated. Unfortunately that front moving farther south on Friday kept the totals down for this event.

Unfortunately, more often than not, these weak cool fronts or boundaries that are forecasted to stall across our regions usually end up either slipping further south than modeled or pulling up stationary further north than models initially indicated, resulting in less rainfall accumulation than forecasted. I've seen these scenarios play out repeatedly during every season over the years.

Someone up here said the second half of March may be colder than the first half lol

We've only had one day all month below normal

70 inches of rain. Bring out the boats. Lol. Hilarious model. It does say inches, not cm...

Looking like NE TX will see a widespread freeze tonight.

Looking like NE TX will see a widespread freeze tonight.

NWS NTX posted that areas just outside the DFW metro area may see a frost Tuesday morning. Forecast low for DFW 38/40 which translate for my tiny area in the bottom of a bowl to be about 35/37

While the official reporting site for SA might not reflect it (Airport), not bad overall all things considered. I was a little surprised that both global and a few short-range models were just a little too bullish overall with this one but as South Texas Storms mentioned, frontal progress further south definitely had a big impact. Hopefully we get a few more opportunities before March is over.

Upper 20s to low 30s this morning as expected for NE TX. Cold spots down to 27.

It's even crazier because you were colder than me this morning, I only got down to 33°F

Nice to see some cooler weather for a change.

I would like to wish a Happy Spring to all of the Storm2K Forum members! We need a wet Spring here in Texas before drier conditions set in later on this year.
