Jeeeez...it's pulsing down again.

New cells forming in Waller County.

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

[jasons2k]

Radar goes to crap and everyone leaves...

I don't feel like being a glutton for punishment...as we say during Hurricane season --> NEXT

[unome]

front is definitely here, temps dropping like a rock in Cypress

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...

CAP 1, Houston RAIN 0

The cap wins again.....big bully!

[unome]

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

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

[redneckweather]

The bastard Satan has a firm grasp over Southeast, Texas this spring season. Somebody give him a firm kick in the nuts!

[srainhoutx]

Some Lucky folks are getting rain.

[unome]

we are getting the pitter patter of tiny rain drops in Cypress better than nothing, but probably not measurable

[tireman4]

We got some in Hobby area. Not much, but some.

12Z GFS doesn't indicate much chance of rain here through the next 2 weeks.

[wxman57]

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

[sleetstorm]

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?

The cap wins again.....big bully!

The Cockroach Ridge won again. I guess my RAID cans failed again.

12Z GFS doesn't indicate much chance of rain here through the next 2 weeks.

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

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 Niña may be expected to linger for a month or so longer than when the SST anomalies show a return to ENSO-neutral levels."
