Ahh, now this is my kind of thread - MARCH! It even sounds warmer! I don't see any change in the current (or past) pattern into the first week or two of March. Fast-moving storm systems should continue, along with frequent periods of heavy rain. We've been discussing (at work) how the current pattern may be quite conducive to an active tornado season across the south.

I could go for 7-10 inches of rain in March and bust this drought all together. That would put us over 30 inches of rain since October....

Another interesting aspect regarding this persistent pattern of active weather that we have experienced since January is the strong probability that we will not see a heat ridge develop over Texas which will certainly be a change from what we have seen the past couple of years. March is the time I tend to start 'focusing' on the tropical season and what hints may be ahead. ENSO neutral years seem to always seem to have a trick or two up its sleeve regarding early season potential. But that will be for a later time and another topic.

Also of note is that we have gone ENSO neutral... hello El Nino later this year!
Should be a fun fall/winter of 2012-2013.

I think we are heading to Neutral sooner than expected. I would not be surprised if we see El Nino by late summer. If so, it would be the first time since 2009.
Hey weather people!!
Can you give me an indication of the weather next week around Comstock, TX from 3/1 to 3/4? How accurate are these weather channel forecasts and NOAA site ones? I'm wishcasting COLD for that period for camping.

If that happens, what would that mean for hurricane season?Ptarmigan wrote:I think we are heading to Neutral sooner than expected. I would not be surprised if we see El Nino by late summer. If so, it would be the first time since 2009.

niner21, I moved your post to the March thread where we can answer that question a bit better. It does appear a cold front will pass late week, but not too cold as of this time for areas near Val Verde County...niner21 wrote:Hey weather people!!
