yes, wish we could take the water from flooding up north & out east & give a bit of relief to the south & west http://nhss.cr.usgs.gov/
Masters had a good blog on the fires/drought a short while back: http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=1779
"A dry forecast
The drought in Texas is likely to get much worse and spread northwards and westwards over the coming months, and will probably rank as one of the top five droughts in Texas history by the time summer arrives. The latest 2-week forecast from the GFS model shows little or no precipitation for the drought region over the next week, with the next chance of significant rains coming April 19 - 20. The latest 1-month and 3-month outlooks from the NOAA Climate Prediction Center show above-average chances for warm and dry conditions over the drought region extending into summer. La Niña conditions are expected to wane and become neutral by June, but the influence of La Niña on the atmosphere will stay strong through June, keeping the preferred storm track north of Texas and causing below-average rains to the drought region. Real relief from the drought of 2011 will likely only occur when hurricane season starts to get going, bringing moisture-laden tropical disturbances or tropical cyclones to the Texas coast in June and July." |
