As the low progresses east/se the heaviest precip axis will be along the Red River valley bounded by I-20 to the south and I-40 to the north. Scattered storms with daytime heating elsewhere especially along an old boundary in the eastern half of the state. Euro is even pointing at good precip in the northeastern tip of Texas so for those that lost some hope there has something to look forward to!
Where's aggiecutter? He's going to owe me for removing the Austin Omega Block from northeast Texas. My loss will be his gain!
Last night at around 10:30, there were a couple of strong thunderstorms in SE Oklahoma, heading directly toward Texarkana. I thought there was no way the storms would miss us. However, the storms dissipated about 10 miles NW of town.
I hope NTXW is right about the EURO model because we have only had .70" of rain the past five weeks. The only thing that has bailed us out is a wet winter and early spring. The long range GFS looks wet. Hopefully, it will verify.
As far as the Omega block moving back to Austin, all I can say is:"You enjoy the weather, its the only weather you've got".
but I'll get over it once we get a good soaking again...whenever that is, maybe tonight(?), and the developing soil cracks get moist again. I'm watering Saturday regardless of the forecast. 
One last shot today. Sprinkler in standby mode.
