Let's hope so.

Yep, they got pounded in Clay County with over 9 inches of rain. I received 1.5 inches here. And the NWS is forecasting 3-4 inches of additional QPF this week. We have already received around 5 inches of rain so far this month. 😊And with El Nino trying to "peak it's head" if the rains con...

Hopefully, the rainfall is over Central and West Texas. They can use the rain for sure.

It has been very windy. I cannot recall a March this windy. It seems more windier during La Nina years.
