Looking at the skies and radar, not sure if this is yet another tease or the real deal. I saw the ewx discussion for next week. A ways off to think about anything, but a front interacting with deep tropical moisture would be ideal for parched Central Texas!
I read an article today that Governor Perry signed a proclamation Friday stating "...the drought poses an imminent threat of disaster in every county in Central Texas." I'm hoping this is not true of course.

Latest EWX discussion:
.LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY)...
BY WEDNESDAY THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD BACK WESTWARD
INTO TEXAS...AND THEREFORE RAIN CHANCES WILL DIMINISH WITH ONLY
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE SRN CWA. THE UPPER RIDGE WILL
PREVAIL OVER TX INTO THE WEEKEND WITH MAX TEMPERATURES EDGING BACK
A CATEGORY OR TWO ABOVE SEASONAL NORMS.
MEANWHILE A POSSIBLE
DEVELOPING TROPICAL SYSTEM OVER THE BAY OF CAMPECHE MOVES N-NWWD
INTO THE FAR WRN GULF. NHC CURRENTLY PLACES A 30 PERCENT CHANCE OF
DEVELOPMENT INTO A TROPICAL CYCLONE IN THE NEXT 5 DAYS. THIS
SYSTEM WOULD LIKELY SEND DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE INTO S TX LATE
SUNDAY INTO MONDAY AND MOISTURE SURGES NWD ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE
SYSTEM. STILL MUCH UNCERTAINTY THIS FAR OUT...BUT FOR NOW HAVE
INCREASED POPS TO CHANCE CATEGORY AND LOWERED MAX TEMPERATURES FOR
MUCH OF THE CWA BY MONDAY.
IN ADDITION THE GFS IS SHOWING A WEAK
FRONTAL BOUNDARY DROPPING INTO NORTH TX LATE MONDAY WHICH COULD
FURTHER ENHANCE PRECIPITATION CHANCES MONDAY OR TUESDAY.
