Looking pretty good for us in SE TX (If you want rain), particularly those of us south of I-10 that usually get the short end of the stick when it comes to rain lol.

I know that's a year many people don't like, and fairly so! The walker circulation never really responded well to that El Nino partially because the western pacific and MC waters were hot and remained so. It was really a half baked El Nino. The rest of the Globe didn't play ball, but the response is much more traditional currently.

Plenty of data out there to suggest this is going to be an El Nino that delivers for areas that desperately need rainfall.

In the meantime over the next few days more rain enters the forecast across SC TX points south and east. Active pattern continues into next week and the good news is May looks active as well.

All of it without an uptick in severe weather which I'll take. At some point though that luck is going to run out. Just a matter of time.

1-2 inches of rain across portions of SC TX including the San Antonio metro with another 1-2 likely on the way in the next 48 hours. Not bad.

Keep it coming.

0z update: HRRR extended and a few other hi-res models increasing rainfall totals across SC TX over the next 24-36 hours.

Now 2-3 inches possible on top of the 1-2 inches that has already fallen. Love it!

Waiting our turn paying off.

I’m now up to 2” so far in the month of April. Not much yet for me, but a lot better than the past few months, that’s for sure.
