WE NEED TO START GETTING THOSE DRY FRONTS THROUGH HERE,,THAT WILL GUST UP THE WINDS AND LOWER THE HUMIDITY.
I WANT HOUSTON TO EXPERIENCE THE DRYNESS OF THE ARIZONA DESERT.
LASTOCTOBER , I REMEMBER WE HAD A VERY DRY COLD FRONT COME THROUGH. HIGH TEMPS WERE INT HE 80'S,, BUT THE WIND WAS VERY GUSTY, AND THE DEWPOINTS IN HOUSTON DROPPED INTO THE TEENS . THATS WHAT WE NEED IS LOW DEWPOINTS AND LOWER HUMIDITY.
MY QUESTION IS , WITH THIS WEATHER PATTERN,WILL THE UPCOMING COLD FRONTS,, BE DRY AND GUSTY WITH LOW HUMIDITY LIKE LAST YEAR? WILL THAT THE DROUGHT WORSE?
It's kinda hard to make the drought worse when everything is already dead and the ground fuels are as dry as they can possibly get. However, the dry fronts will only aggravate the problem and if anything is still living by the time the first front arrives, it will only act to strip the remaining plants of the moisture they have, too. Why do you want this? Do you know that this is a $5 BILLION DOLLAR disaster? If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times, I HATE SUMMER and I HATE HEAT. I mean this has gone far beyond what summers are supposed to be around here. If we don't get some rain soon, we're going to be in the midst of not only exceptional fire danger (which has already burned hundreds of homes across the state) but will cause water restrictions to get even worse. It is already breaking hundreds of water mains across the city, the boating industry is suffering. Recreation on area lakes will come to a halt as lake levels drop and worse yet, the animals in the woods depend on the rain. Don't you at least care about the animals? I'm sure they are quite thirsty.

Exactly. Droughts are the costliest disasters for America. They do more harm to the economy.
