If a tropical system forms while there is a low in West Texas, it will steer the storm right into Texas. Though it would probably have to be a Strong Low, a weak one may not have a large enough influence.

Re: Texas Spring-2015
Happy to have a dry spell. On the county road to my mom's house near Maydelle, in rural ETX, they've had some logging going on near them. As wet as the soil got, the earth beneath the road became extremely saturated. The county had partially paved some of the roadway near residences on the county road, and as the log trucks went up and down the road (especially exiting w/ full loads) their tires caused the paved roads to sink beneath their tires into the saturated clay/red dirt, creating huge ruts in the paved areas.
The county dug up those areas and changed it to gravel, and "graded" the non-paved portions of the county road. During all the rain, streams were running down the middle of some of the non-paved surfaces of the road, and the county kind of went over board digging out the ditches and attempting to create better drainage on the road into the ditches. The end result is a very high center portion of the road in the non-paved areas with lots of thick roots that the graders dug up and I had the road hitting the bottom of my car this evening driving to and from her house for dinner. I could normally drive down their road @ 40mph but had to do 20mph after Cherokee County's "repairs".
I look forward to a "mild" and wet summer, but hopefully nothing like we experienced in May, except maybe in the Colorado River basin. The extreme rain took its tolls on a lot of Texas, so I guess I should count myself lucky that my worst complaint is the road conditions over this way.

Hmmmm.
May 1957 - Lake Texoma goes over the spillway.
June 1957 - Hurricane Audrey forms in the Gulf of Mexico in the Bay of Campeche.

Looks like the remnants of Blanca could be steaming up the Gulf of California next week about the same time the pattern is supposed to change. Hopefully that will bring some additional moisture to the state.

Yup. A multi-inch snow in December, a 16-inch Snowmageddon in January and a "Wxman 57 Last Gasp of Winter Special" in February.
Did I mention that it's going to hit zero in downtown Austin too?

I figured you'd be moving here once you saw this picture of the Sasquatch that was taken near Texarkana.

Re: Texas Spring-2015
It is feeling "Squatch-y" out here.
Looks like the Gulf will be open for business come the middle of next week and beyond.

We still need the rain down here. Not to the severity we needed it a month ago, but we don't want to buck the trend.
The "faucet" has been off for a couple of weeks. June is usually the second wettest month of the year behind May in this area.
Lake levels rise with heavy May rain, but drought near the Highland Lakes is not over

Howdy ya'll, have not posted in a while. Did not know if I should post in the summer thread or not. Today is the first day that I have said to myself it is just too damn hot. What was going to be a chicken grilling night has turned into a chicken baking night. Having a small summer cold does not help. A/C's have been cranking the past week or so. Oh well, May could not last forever. Man, I dread long hot months. Yuck. A trip to Mexico in mid-July will be a nice reprieve from the heat. It always rains alot during the summer months in the mountains outside Mexico City with highs in the low 80's and lows in the 50's. Hope everyone has a good and safe summer with dreams of autumn cold fronts and less humidity!!!!

Hopefully we can get more rain to fall upstream in the Hill Country around San Saba, Mason, Gillespie and LLano counties. That would finish off that pocket of abnormally dry soil and then would bring in more runoff into Lake Buchanan.
