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...

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.

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.

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.
