That's El jefe right there

Else Nino means warmer water in the Pacific ocean off central America. The warmer water means more moisture heads to Texas in the summer and early fall.

What i've gleaned from this thread is that El Nino means I should fish more and buy a new truck

I don't think we can put much stock in weather prognostication.


GOVERNMENT WINTER WEATHER FORECASTS BOTCHED AGAIN

No sir, I believe it is the opposite.





For us here in Southeast, Texas and for most of Texas for that matter, this has been the 7th coldest period (time period: Nov 1 - Feb 11) we have seen dating back to 1899. So what usually happens after we have had a very cold winter?

My bad Johnny your right I had them mixed up. The information that I have received from the modelers it is not looking good for breaking the drought and replenishing the aquifers in central Texas this year. Yeah we might get some rain but not enough to refill what we need filled.
