I agree. This is looking like May 2015. Over the next 24 hours, there's potential for major flooding as the line in S. TX slows down, and SE flow from the Gulf enhances moisture along the vorticites that lift up along the boundary that stalls and backs-up over S. Central TXs throughout the weekend. This may be the first of many rainfall events for Southern Texas. The catastrophic flooding seen in May 2015 was the result of a similar complex that followed other ground-saturating rainfall events.
Here is the May 2015 Event.
Happy Mother’s Day! ??
The entire complex went *POOF* as it moved into DFW. ?
Definitely looking like a bust for the Metroplex.

Hello guys. Looks like a pretty good El niño this fall and winter. If it indeed gets robust, I think in tandem with an east based QBO, it should allow for a few cold blasts at times this upcoming winter.

Kinda funny that Seattle is under a Heat Advisory with temps in the mid to upper 80s and dewpoints in the 50s. How would those folks handle a southern summer ?

I read this and was like no way this is right.....but it is......it was worse here back in Feb lol.....can you imagine them throwing a heat advisory here for that.....I mean their heat index is actually lower than the air temp right now...I wonder what their criteria is.

We have to have a cold front for those readings in the summer here.
Yeah that is funny. Upper 80s with dews in the 50s around here from late May to early September is considered a relief from the heat day. Also it’s definitely not class to that rediculous heat wave they had a couple years ago when most of the Pacific NW set their all time record highs.

Someone commented on Pete Delkus post that they can't wait for AI weathermen... ?
Adding insult to injury, we actually saw a fair amount of sun today.
The 7 day total rainfall at DFW (since 5/6) was a whopping 0.63"

Many in Seattle don't have central AC. It's kinda like how southern FL freaks out when it gets cold because they don't have central heating.

We getting that +pna ridging on west coast now, but will we see it in winter? Imo, we screwed blued and tattooed if we aren't able to develop that for this winter. I'm already thinking ahead ?. I must admit I'm not too enthusiastic about a big niño
Being that we’re going into an El Niño, the +PNA shouldn’t be too difficult to come by… the problem is that because we’re going into an El Niño there might not be much cold air for it to tap into
Yep, lots of dreary , cloudy, cool days down there in a Nino, but hardly ever cold enough to snow!
1.47” of rain today, stuff NE breeze 20-35 mph
Currently 51. Was 59 at 8 AM
Currently 51. Was 59 at 8 AM
Definitely a lot of chilly rains in El Niño around here, however El Niño winters do average more snowfall than neutral ENSO or La Niña.

The last big Nino when I was in Dallas the highlight of the winter was a killer tornado the day after Christmas ? granted many years it never really snowed in Dallas anyway but still. For every February 2021 there was countless winters it was hard to even get a flizzard
I mean I do think it can't get much worse than this last winter though. Literally besides the week at Christmas and the end of January I feel like nothing happened
