October 2021
Hopefully this slop on the way doesn't mess up my Southwest flight. They have enough problems blaming issues on fake weather without actual rain.

NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center (CPC) has announced that a La Nina has developed and will extend through the second winter in a row.
La Nina is a natural ocean-atmospheric phenomenon marked by cooler-than-average sea surface temperatures across the central and eastern Pacific Ocean near the equator and is translated from Spanish as “little girl.”
NOAA CPC scientists have been tracking the potential development of this La Nina since this past summer, and it was a factor in the above-normal hurricane season forecast, which we have seen unfold. This La Nina is expected to last through early spring 2022. Here's the link for more information - ter https://www.noaa.gov/news/double-dip-la-nina-emerges
Sooooooooo....what does this mean for our winter here?

Interesting looks like the storm complex held itself together. Models seem to have underestimated it. We'll have to keep an eye on the heavy rain starting to train along the 59 corridor.
Generally, it should equate to warmer and drier winters in our neck of the woods in Texas (as the jet stream typically hangs out far North of us); however, last winter was a "La Nina Winter" and we all remember what happened then. It was a rather stark anomaly, to be sure.Kingwood36 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 14, 2021 9:53 am NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center (CPC) has announced that a La Nina has developed and will extend through the second winter in a row.

Uh oh . . .
I was a bit surprised. We receive 1.5 inches from the complex about 3 am. Really needed. Brown patch started appearing on Tuesday and I had put down some additional fungicide. It should be soaked into the topsoil and should be activated. Up here in CLL, you can't beat brown patch; you can only contain it!
The only thing predictable about a La Nina winter in Texas - it that it is unpredictable!Pas_Bon wrote: ↑Thu Oct 14, 2021 11:54 amGenerally, it should equate to warmer and drier winters in our neck of the woods in Texas (as the jet stream typically hangs out far North of us); however, last winter was a "La Nina Winter" and we all remember what happened then.
