It's not looking good for us as far as any widespread heavy rain. Maybe a light sprinkle in most areas.

Yep, was just about to post that, unome. Gusting in the 20's now in NW Harris County and not a drop of rain. Ugh...

hey, I got about 6 drops on our back door window - might not have to water after all ! :lol:

I mowed & edged really early this am, to beat the rain we were going to get - probably got the neighbors ticked off for nothing...

I measured 0.06" at my house in Westbury. Heaviest rain in nearly a month.

No measurable rain for southeast Texas for the forseeable futrue, huh? What an unfortunate bummer that is. I wonder if the month of May will have any measureable rain for all of Texas?

Let's hope it is wrong and we get rain.

Weekly ENSO Update & more

and from here: http://iri.columbia.edu/climate/ENSO/cu ... nical.html

"Although SSTs and particularly subsurface sea temperatures have weakened, low-level wind anomalies still indicate enhanced trades in the western and west-central tropical Pacific, and the traditional and equatorial SOI indices remain well above their average. These observations indicate that the atmospheric component of the event is still quite robust. Therefore, while the oceanic indicators continue to weaken, the climate effects associated with La NiƱa may be expected to linger for a month or so longer than when the SST anomalies show a return to ENSO-neutral levels."
