Monthly outlook is hot and dry for October in Texas. Going into La Niña usually means hot and dry fall for Texas.

So much for making any kind of oats this year

Anyone knows what kind of winter typically follows?

.5" of rain since the last week of July here near BCS. Not a damn bit of rain in the 14 day forecast. Just dry fronts

Usually milder and dryer winter for Texas but it is supposed to be a weaker La Niña. Also, you can still get decent shots of cold air. 2021 was a La Niña winter and that was the year of icepocalypse.

And what is crazy that at the start of august, at least in houston, it was a top 5 rainiest year. And then the rain just stopped.

In Fayette county we had our 2023 total annual rainfall by mid May!

La Niña pattern. Dry southwest.

Yep and hot. Supposed to be mid to upper 90's this weekend in central Texas

We need rain in Uvalde county in the worst way… it is very very dry out there

ive been having to water my moms esperanzas and mexican bird of paradise

Came to the lake to water my trees and it appears I may have waited too long…..screw you job and other things I needed to handle first.

Also I ran over this guy by the gate so now I am double pissed/sad.

Dammit

I'm pretty jealous

Please....

I'll take a wet opening weekend

SE TX needs it - according to neighbors weather station, it was Sept 11 since we saw a drop.

And another neighbor from Jersey thinks today is good day to start burning brush with winds gusting to 16mph in my direction.

Y'all not in a burn ban?

True statement

Oh we are. But he is from Jersey and despite having moved here to "escape California" doesn't seem to understand wildfire dangers.

Strange guy. Take what I am sure everyone as imagining when I say "Jersey" and then add trying to "fit in" to Texas by being over the top at times. So too many gold chains with fancy boots but is yard became a jungle because he didn't realize the maintenace the property he bought involved.

And to clarify - I should have said brush piles (not prescribed burn). But still - it is a neighboorhood of 1/2 to 3+ acres plots, so any ashes are likely being blown onto the neighbor's properties.

Burn Bans in Red - surprised it isn't more.

Good rain on Frio River headwaters this morning and it is just sitting there and dumping. Very dark clouds south and southeast of Junction. I wish it would move a little further north. No rain here in 2 months.

On the Southwest side of Lubbock, we picked up two inches of rain this morning. Light rain still falling.

We hit 3" with a ton of runoff. Water is in creeks that have been dry for a few months

2.2" unexpected downpour today in hill country between Boerne and Comfort. Thought we were only going to get light rain, we'll take it!
