Re: Texas Spring 2018
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...

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

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.

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.

Re: Texas Spring 2018
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.

Re: Texas Spring 2018
Looks like DFW hit 95 today, earlier in the week 100 looked possible. Small victories, I guess.

Re: Texas Spring 2018
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.
