Texas Spring 2025

Wow, finally some widespread rain. Rained from 4-8. Glad my rain gauge is working. Got close to 2 inches.

Only downside: our two puppies just turned one and didn’t used to care about storms. They kept my wife up as they barked non-stop at the thunder. I didn’t sleep great either. Any ideas?

Poured ping pong ball to golfball sized hail last night. Picked an inch of rain with it though.

Family reports snow in Lubbock.

CPC Turing bullish on rain for the second half of April. Long range GFS is in agreement. Enjoy the sunshine next week!

Yep, traditional tornado alley may become active during the 2nd half of April.

In Amarillo is still winter.

Disappointing rain event in SA and Austin last night as the storms largely stayed north and west of the area. Good to see the Hill Country cash in though.

54 degrees and cloudy skies, if only we can get more of these before summer hell hits! Lovin' it and spending weekend outside!

Not at all. Summer sucks.

Looks like we get a break from all the severe weather for next 7-10 days but pattern could turn active again beyond that.

My house near Houston got a 5 minute shower but the radar then lit up as soon as the line was past. The gradient in rain, annually and many individual events, is sharp across I-45.

Freeze watch basically west of I-35. If you have cold sensitive plants, best to take precautions. For DFW proper forecast is mid to upper 30s. 31F record low tomorrow morning at least for now looks safe.

Looks like the airport and other weather stations around the city reported "unknown precip"/ wintry mix early this morning around 3-5 am. So it seems like a period of sleet or snow mix occurred.

Official 72 Hour rainfall totals below and some isolated spots in the area received up to 4 inches. This should put a good dent in the drought up here.

Snow was a bust here but I wasn't that surprised. I never saw us below 40. I tried to tell people even if it did snow it'd be gone in 10 minutes was never gonna be like January or February

The rain this week has been insane though

What may really be in jeopardy today is the record min. high (46*F).

Although we may have at least tied it at midnight (not entirely sure).

I couldn't believe I had to turn my heater on this morning (yeah I caved with temp below 70 inside). I laughed a little as I did it though and thought of my friend down interstate 10 a few hundred miles east (Stratton23) who I imagine had the windows open and was out in his backyard with a cup of ☕️ in shorts and a t-shirt just living it up. Enjoy my friend especially tonight/tomorrow morning.

Back into the 90's by end of the week though. What's that saying about Texas weather again...if you don't like it..... Lol. Definitely rings true in 2025. It's been anything but boring that's for sure. We've had it all in SA.

Break from the severe weather but models starting to signal return to active pattern again with more dryline activity perhaps by day 10 range. We shall see. Have a good one folks

Larry Cosgrove, who isn't always right but is correct more often than not sees one major southern stream system the second part of April and everything else rides N of the Southern Plains. He is suggesting warmer and mostly dry. I see 2011 mentioned as an analog year which was an ugly year for Texas.

The hailstorm overnight Friday caused widespread hail damage across WF. Most of the area saw heavy ping pong to golf ball size hail. The hail was coming down "cats and dogs". The same supercell also produced hurricane force winds once it got into Oklahoma with a wind gust of 86 mph recorded.

Maybe the CPC is also seeing the dryline becoming more active in west Texas mid month?

Yeah our met posted something about things getting "wild" around day 10-14

Now he loves to hype but still that's saying something to watch given the fires and wind and storms of the last few weeks

Enjoy the lull and the nice weather in the meantime. The months of hell known as summer will be here before you know it
